- Page 3 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 General Set Up and Usage of #LCSET10 Turning Tools Your Lathe: Your lathe should be mounted on a stable surface.

- Page 4 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 Skew Chisels –Set includes 1”, 5/8”, and 1/4” The Skew chisel is one of the most versatile chisels in the wood turner’s arsenal. Unlike gouges, the skew is beveled on both the top and the bottom of the edge. Notice that the edge of the skew is on an angle to the shaft. Therefore there are two different points on either side of the edge.
- Page 5 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 Roughing Gouge –Set includes 7/8” The Roughing Gouge is one of the primary tools for woodturning. Its main purpose is to remove stock quickly until the surface is a relative even diameter. The Roughing Gouge can do some decent final shaping as well with proper handling. The basics of turning, such as stance and chisel control are easiest to learn with the roughing gouge.
- Page 6 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 Parting Tools Parting and Tenon Tools are similar types of chisel. The difference between the parting and the tenon tools is the width of the cutting surface and the leverage for the cut. Parting tools are generally wider and so will cover longer sections quickly.
- Page 7 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 Spindle Gouge –Set includes 3/4” and 1/4” Spindle Gouges are meant to do fine shaping. They can do Beads and Coves, as well as straight cuts and gradual sloping. The tip shape is referred to as a fingernail grind and the bevels that sweep back from the tip are referred to as “wings”. The fingernail tip al- lows for a more focused cut than the roughing gouge allowing dynamic control of shapes through the position of the flute and handle.
- Page 8 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 Spindle Gouge (continued) Cutting a Cove: A cove is a rounded groove, and it is the opposite of a bead. Coves therefore require almost the opposite motions. It may help to imagine scooping ice cream using the side of the scoop. Try to do shallow coves to start; you want to avoid having the end of the wings catch on the material.
- Page 9 PSI Woodworking Products #LCSET10 Carbide Tools Carbide tools offer an advantage over traditional high speed steel tools in that a carbide will last several times longer than a steel edge. The replaceable blades have several faces so that as one edge gets dull, the blade can be loosened using the included star key and rotated to present a fresh edge.
