Product Info The bar was designed to hold the T1 HSS teardrop cutters. The bar is 3/4″ round and 12 ” long. The shank has been milled to 5/8″ to fit in any standard 5/8″ handle. The entire bar has been coated with Nickel for wear resistance and corrosion protection to ensure a long, beautiful life. It has a single screw hole at the tip used for securing the teardrop cutter. The cutter is secured with a #10-32 washer cap screw. Orient the teardrop cutter to cut with the round side of the bar to enable easy maneuverability for any scrape or shear cutting action. Orient the teardrop cutter to cut with the flat side of the bar to give some torque resistance for high volume removal of stock of any vessel from side and face grain bowl, goblets, cups, platters, vases or any hollow form. Look for a handle of at least 16″ in length to hold the Half Round Bar. A handle system that can add or remove length is ideal. The Modular Woodturning Tool Handle System is a great choice. Be sure to select a handle adapter that fits a 5/8″ tool shaft.
