How This Tool Is Built

We start with the sharpest edge, and we don't stop there. Vanquish vibration, say adios to constant resharpening, and let wispy shavings fly. Delivering superior performance at your lathe drives our manufacturing.

We’ve worked with M42 high speed steel for 4 decades, and it’s uniquely suited to woodturning. You’ll grind less - a cobalt additive provides unparalleled edge holding. And the steel produces a finer, sharper edge for clean cuts. M42 is a win-win: less grinding and smoother cuts.

Our carefully sourced M42 starts as solid stock and is precision machined (not formed) with a unique round tang for unmatched strength. Every gouge sports a distinctive flute polish. This boosts the razor edge and provides efficient chip flow. Learn more about M42 HSS here.

Rigorous and detailed sums up our manufacturing. Each tool’s vibration-demolishing round tang has a diameter so precise you’ll hear a ‘pop’ when you pull it out of the handle. And every tool leaves our factory razor sharp and backed by a 100% lifetime guarantee. Built to last!

Rest assured our aluminum handles feel as great as they look. Perfectly weighted for balance and maneuverability, and designed to fit your hand. You’ll forget the handle is even there, in the best way possible. Two set screws secure your tool into the handle and allow removal for sharpening.

From flute polish to handle knurling, we’re not cutting corners. Whether you’re just starting out, or have been turning for decades, it’s an honor to serve you with quality tools. Learn more about our story here.

Better instruction videos for first time users

I may have already screwed up my tool before I used it, by watching the first video showing you how to sharpen it on a grinding wheel. I believe that the only two videos needed would be (1) Mike Mahoney demonstrates how "his" tool works and the methods Mike uses. Also, the direction of the wood grain is unclear because the video shows no grain direction at all in the wood. (2) The second video should show Mike's preferred method to sharpen the tool using 220/320 grit paper and to explain how and when to use the grinding wheel. In my opinion, those are the only two videos needed. Any other concerns could be answered in an email or by identifying videos meant for more experience users. Thank You

Good evening Timothy,
Thank you for your review! Just following up on my email! Hopefully it didn't slip through the cracks. I'm sorry to hear you feel like you have already messed up your newest tool before using it! All of our tools are shipped sharp so there shouldn’t be any need to touch up the tool before using them at the lathe, however I do understand many turners prefer their own personalized angles and grind profiles.
We appreciate your comments about instructional videos. There are a few linked in our product page. I hope you were able to review those as needed. There’s a (somewhat new) in-depth tutorial which is alongside Mike’s entire line. As well as a short thread chasing video on Mike’s personal page. Lastly, a livestream class done by Todd Raines with Mike that goes over thread chasing in great depth!

Timothy, if you feel like you have overground your tool, please let me know and I’d be happy to replace it for you free of charge. We want our customers to see success at the lathe with each tool they use! Happy turning!

Chasing Threads

I ordered the thread chaser hoping that I could watch a video and teach myself how to hand-chase threads. I was successful! My only regret is that I think I should have ordered the 12 TPI as my first chaser instead of the 16 TPI.

16 TPI THREAD CHASING

I'm a first time thread chaser
Good quality, nice design.works great! Wish it was a bit longer so it doesn't dig into your hands but a quality product.

Excellent!

I have 3 other set of thread chasing tools, they just got benched! What I like the most about it is it came with a negative rake bevel. I had done that to my other tools, but they don't work as well!

I just chased my first threads with this tool. It cut very clean, sharp threads and the knob handle felt good, at least in my hands.
