I made 3 carbide tools

[Jim_K]

I decided to make some carbide tools as I didn't have any. They are all made from 5/8" square bar stock so they are very beefy. I have a radiused square, a round and one of the round shear cutters. With the round shear cutter I attempted to make a version of the Hunter Hercules tool. The handles are hard maple.

So far they work well and I saved a lot of money. The cutters are from AZ Carbide.

Nice job. I've made about 10 carbide tools for myself and some friends. They're easy to make and save a lot over commercially made ones. I use Taiwan made Torx screws on mine, they work really well. My favourite is still the 9mm round carbide tool.
