Carbide tools

[arcwick08]

Hey team,

I've been using an old, homebrew carbide tool for ages but it has never really been great (wrong length, poor insert dimensions, etc).
I've looked at the easywood tools, but they are awful expensive for (essentially) square steel stock with carbide cutters.
I know that one of the regulars here makes carbide turning tools specifically for pens, but I can't find a post with a link. I'm sorry to solicit this here, but could some chap pm me his name or site address?

Thanks!

Ken makes two different tools that are teh same except for the length, the pen pro and the bowl pro. The bowl pro can be used for pens as well. I have that one and would fight anyone trying to get it away from me. Wonderful tool.

WHOA! Thanks everybody... I guess this negates the need for a follow up post looking for opinions on the tool!
