RIKON 4-Piece Turning Tool Set with Carbide Insert Cutters

These are great tools. I especially like how easy it is to switch out from one cutter tip to another one. It literally takes seconds and it's hmmmm... enjoyable to do. That may sound a bit strange, but the machining is so nice and the fit so good that it just gives me a feeling of satisfaction to swap cutters out. It's like a well fitting drawer that just glides into place effortlessly and perfectly. Makes you want to open the drawer and shut it again- just because.These tools are a great addition to any wood turners collection of tools. I made four cherry table legs out of 4" stock and they (the tools) performed quite well. Nice work RIKON, thanks.

These turning tools are comfortable and well- balanced. Their weight and heft makes holding them a breeze.

I always wanted carbide turning tools but didn't want to buy three. This kit uses one handle and that concerned me until I tried it. Very easy quick release. A fast partial turn and pull to remove and an easy push and turn to tighten. Super easy! Handle weight and grip is quality. tool shaft very sturdy. Easy adjustment to turn the carbide tip to a fresh position. Comes in decent box for storage. Highly recommend.

I did my research, and watched many videos. Being a beginner turner I wanted a set of wood turning tools that would last my a life time. Plus I do not have a bench grinder, nor the room for one. So after reviewing many carbide tool sets I decided to go with the Rikon. Not just because I have a Rikon lathe, but because of the quick change feature. Sure I can buy individual carbide tools with handles on them, but that would be super pricey. The Rikon set is affordable, and very easy to use. I love these tools, and they work good. Change out between cutting bits is fastened easy. They have a nice weight to them, and you can add weight if you want to. Rikon has very nice support for this tool set. I would recommend these for the seasoned to the newb.

Great sturdy set for projects big and small. The Rikon cutters it comes with stay sharp longer but other brands fit as well. Long heavyweight handle that can be beefed up (see accessories for side mount handle, handle extension or a counterweight for heavy duty use). Quick change feature really is easy and allows me to use the tools without the handle for turning smaller projects like pens.The one aspect we didn’t like was that the shaft tips were too fat to allow us to approach our work from a sharp angle. This was easily remedied by honing down the tip. That is the only reason for the 4 star rating.Notice I said “we”. My husband owns a set and I have two! I use several of the specialty tips and don’t want to have to change them out so often.Wish we had before and after pics of the honing job for you.

It’s a good solid turning tool. The collet system works very well

Not sure you can find a better tool for the price. I have cut everything from punky wood to stabilized wood to resin. It has not let me down once. A very heavy duty tool with a comfortable grip. Came in a new little box to keep it clean and dry. For sure is worth every penny spent. You will not be disappointed.

Great set of carbide tools. High quality and a good price. I really like this set. This is my second set, I was going to purchase an extra handle and a spare tool shaft, but it was cheaper to buy another complete set.

Very fast shipping, arrived exactly as ordered, oiled to prevent moisture during shipping. Very well made, easy to change different cutters, lock in place firmly. Haven’t had a chance to use yet, battling an illness. As soon as I turn something I will update, but cutters are very sharp!
