help wanted for cutters

[Dorno]

I am wondering if anyone can help e out with a place that I can buy wholesale round Carbide cutters. I am looking for both the round 12mm cutter and the larger 17 mm cutters. I have managed to find the square cutters but having no luck with the round ones. I have customers here in OZ wanting some so any help appreciated ?

Kind Regards Ian

Wood Turning Inserts - Carbi-Universal
They have 8, 10 and 12mm. Sold in box of 10. I have bought hundreds from them. Excellent quality.

Thanks for this

I just bought some that were priced right in the middle. I will find the name shortly. I use easy wood tools and they are compatible.

I always used to buy from Ken at Woodchuck. Those were the best cutters I ever bought. You can get 12mm in multiple places, but I have issues finding 18mm...I get those from Capt Eddie Castelyn. I don't think his were the quality of Ken's but they are cheaper. I think they are 20.00 for three.
Big Guy Productions - New Products are on their way, check the Cutters Only page.

Round - AZ Carbide

Here's where I just bought mine...I can only compare them with the EWT and so far I have been pleased and don't mind saving 40% (from the EWT price). I have no idea how long they will last. Few feel that the EWT brand is better than these.

Good luck!

Mike...I can't find Ken (of Woodchuck). I found a Woodchuck that sells some pretty awesome finished goods, but no tools. Do you have the link? Thanks!

Ian,

I bought a box of ten from "Global Tooling",they where only a few bucks each. The postage wasn't cheap but they where still half the cost of any others available in Oz. Just google Global Tooling.

Regards,

Terry Q, do they have a 5 box minimum order? Really do not need 25 cutters costing over $50. I tried playing with quanity and only cost increased.

I have asked about Carbi-Unirversal site before and did not get a response here.

That is only 5 cutters. If you put in a quantity that isn't a multiple of 5, it will round up for you. Still looking at ~$10/cutter.

I sell the 18mm round cutters and am the 'originator' of this style and size. I used to sell these direct to Ken when he was more active with his sales. Lots of stock and still selling at the original price of $9 each USD.

Clark, not sure what did wrong but total came out over $100+ no matter how many times tried to make a basic purchase. Emptied the basket several times and started over. Guess will call in an order!

Two sources I've used and been happy with are Oella Saw & Tool in Maryland and Global Tooling in Oregon.

Tony,
Ken was a member here for a long time. Woodchuck tools. I have not had any luck contacting him, so I assume he is not in business any more. He made awesome carbide insert tools, I have several sizes. Lately I have taken to making my own insert tools from HF pry bars. I have made many sizes and configurations. It is really not that hard if I can do it. I am glad to hear that Ontario Wood has those cutters. They were awesome. I don't know how they were rated, the scale I mean, but they were just right. Not to brittle and still hard enough to cut well. Capt Eddies were all right but do not seem to cut as well as those. ( I am using it to hog out the center for bowls, which it hard on a cutter)

That's Ken Ferrell aka Bitshird. His website is http://www.woodchuck-tools.com/. He's a good guy who, as I recall, had a heart attack and stroke a while back. I imagine that any business that came his way would be appreciated.
