Hi,
I need some help on this one. I'm very new to wood turning. Now I read several places that there is an advantage to having a carbide tip tool (I'm talking about the Easy Wood turning tools with replaceable carbide tip) with a square shaft. I looked at the photos and video of Easy Wood tools and they showed a square shaft so I ordered one...now maybe I haven't received the right information...this is a finishing tool with a round insert. Is a round shaft an issue or not? Do I need the flat back for control? I understand that might depend on my skill level but, please, give me some feedback from those that have used this type of tool.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Keith
