The portion that fits inside the pen blank is longer, providing additional support, and the bushings for two-piece pens are clearly marked to mate up with your blanks correctly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also turned a wear groove in the bushing just back from where it enters the pen blank. As long as you can see that groove, your bushing isn’t worn out and will give you perfect alignment of the turned pen to the kit components. After a mountain of finished pens, when the wear groove is gone, you’ll know it’s time to get a new bushing set. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"25004 - Lever Action\/Fireman Ballpoint","offer_id":43458080079931,"sku":"25004","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25005 - Berea\/Chopper Motorcycle","offer_id":43458080112699,"sku":"25005","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25007 - Bolt Action","offer_id":43458080145467,"sku":"25007","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25008 - Baron\/Sedona Rollerball \u0026 Fountain","offer_id":43458080178235,"sku":"25008","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25009 - Sierra Vista Ballpoint","offer_id":43458080211003,"sku":"25009","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25011 - Churchill\/Cambridge Rollerball \u0026 Fountain","offer_id":43458080243771,"sku":"25011","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25012 - Berea\/Tenacious Blade Ballpoint","offer_id":43458080276539,"sku":"25012","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/6652\/2939\/files\/Pen-Bushings_WEB_Shopify_ProdCard_01_1f5bd588-9e1a-4104-a84a-580b1793f77b.jpg?v=1782136905"},{"product_id":"turning-tool-replacement-carbide-inserts","title":"Turning Tool Replacement Carbide Inserts","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- x-hugerte\/html --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe Keys to Woodpeckers Carbide Inserts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlmost any carbide blend can deliver a long-lasting edge,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e but normal carbides are designed to be ground to a moderate edge and stay there a long time. They just don’t have the fine grain structure necessary to be ground to a really keen edge like steel tools. But Woodpeckers inserts use a special nano-grain carbide matrix that rivals high speed steel for fine grain structure.  Now you have the best of both worlds, a long-lasting edge that can be ground to a truly keen cutting edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly polished top face.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Just like the flat side of a master woodworker’s chisel or plane iron, the faces of our inserts are ground perfectly flat then polished to a mirror finish.

Similarly, there are two versions of our small square inserts, straight edge and 2-inch radius. Some folks find the radiused profiles easier to use, but the straight edge really shines when forming shoulders on tenons. In our diamond-shaped “detail” inserts we offer two options – full sharp and radius. The radius detail insert allows you to create fine beads and coves just by working the tool back and forth…no complicated “rolling beads” or “scooping coves”. The full sharp insert takes the word “detail” to a whole new meaning. It excels at creating fine accent lines and cleaning up tight transition areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet the right insert regardless of your tool brand.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e In the images above, you’ll find a chart that shows which of our inserts fit other brands of tools.

So, what makes Ultra-Shear different from all the rest? The list is long, but the three most important differences are the grade and grind of the inserts, the design of the tool shaft and the material and treatment used in making the shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Tech Steel; Higher Tech Manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e. A truly sharp cutting edge needs rock solid support to give you the best results. Ultra-Shear tools feature the same rigid ChroMoly alloy steel used in NASCAR roll cages and crankshafts. CNC machines create the intricate insert seats, then the shafts go through a two-step hardening process which creates an ultra-smooth surface finish that glides easily across your tool rest and resists corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot just for pens. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe three Ultra-Shear pen tools include square, round and diamond-point insert profiles. The square tool is the workhorse for most pen projects. The diamond-point detail tool inscribes fine detail lines for accents. The round tool creates inside curves (coves) on specialty designs. Their small size and razor-sharp inserts make these tools ideal for other detailed work in addition to pen turning, such as finials and miniatures. Projects many think impossible with carbide tools can now be tackled with Ultra-Shear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt All Starts at the Cutting Edge. \u003c\/strong\u003eUltra-Shear’s development team started this project by interviewing dozens of carbide manufacturers, seeking out a partner that recognized the unique requirements of woodturning. Any carbide blend can create a long-lasting edge, but for advanced performance at the lathe, you need a truly keen edge. That requires a carbide that doesn’t just last, but also is fine-grained enough not to crumble when formed to a very sharp angle. The result of months of testing and trials is a unique nano-grain carbide matrix, polished to a mirror-finish on the cutting surface and precision ground on the bevel. They are the sharpest, longest lasting inserts on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut Cleaner. Sand Less. \u003c\/strong\u003eToday’s pen turner works in a world full of exotic materials; acrylics, polymer clays, stabilized wood, and even mixtures of all the above. Most of these materials don’t cut cleanly with the normal approach for carbide tipped tools (tool level on the centerline and parallel to the stock). \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eShear scraping\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a technique where the tool is presented at an angle to the workpiece, improving the surface finish dramatically. In solid wood, 45° usually delivers the optimum finish, but acrylics, polymers and blends are different. Ultra-Shear pen tools feature round sides allowing you to locate the optimum shear angle for whatever material you’re turning. There’s a large flat surface milled on the bottom for solid support of your initial roughing and shaping cuts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pen tools have a 3-1\/4\" tool length with a 9\" handle for a total length of 12-1\/4\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSold individually or at a savings when you order them as a set.
