If you have tried stone turning you know that it's not fun if you have to spend all your time sharpening your tools. I learned this lesson early on and made a set of carbide tipped chisels that I use just about everyday. Many of my art collectors are hobbiest wood turners and wanted to try stone turning. They asked me to make a set of carbide tipped chisels for them. After many requests, I decided it was time to offer my signature line of carbide stone turning chisels with replaceable and interchangeable tips.

My requirements were that I needed the chisel to function well, reduce chatter and be comfortable to use. I found that 16" was the perfect length, it would provide me with enough leverage yet still allow me to hold a strong grip at my side. The shaft needed to be strong so it would not bend under normal use. After testing a few different sizes, I found that a 3/8" X 3/4" was the right size. The handle needed to be easy to hold and also not transfer vibration to the user. I found a grip material that was specifically manufactured to absorb vibration and also offer a non-slip grip. I needed the carbide tips to not only be replaceable, but also interchangeable. That way, you would not need to buy two separate chisels.

I hope you find these chisels as useful as I have.
