This specialty turning tool is designed to make cutting a\nmortise on the bottom of your bowls an easy task. No more fussing about\ngetting the perfect angles and depth with your bowl gouge! to make it even\neasier we’ve etched the tool in line with the most common jaw sizes so you can\nquickly and precisely mark out exactly where to cut for perfect fitment. To\nuse this tool, start by lining up the CTR marking on the tool with the centre\nof your work piece, and then use the tool marking that matches your jaw size\nto mark where your cut will be. Next, rough out the opening with the turning\ntool of your choice, staying within the lines you made. Finally, come in with\nyour scraper. Using gentle pressure to scrape all the way to your line, finish\nthe mortise.

A bit about mortises, tenons, and the dovetail scraper: to put\nit simply, a mortise is a hole and a tenon is a post. most woodlathe jaws can\nhold a work-piece in 2 ways: by tightening down on the outside of a tenon, or\nexpanding into the inside of a mortise. Both methods are tried and true, and\nhave slightly different advantages over the other. A tenon is best when\nturning end grain, as the wood fibres are more likely to split along the\ngrain. outward pressure from expanding jaws into a mortise can easily split\nyour workpiece in half, whereas inward pressure on a tenon will help hold\neverything together. with typical side grain turning however this is not an\nissue. It also allows you to turn off the tenon and use a bit more creativity\nwith how you finish the foot of your bowl ( assuming you have cole jaws, a\nvacuum chuck, or similar tools to hold your nearly finished work-piece at the\nend). the disadvantage is that you lose a bit more material, as you have to\nturn off the tenon at the end of your project. The mortise on the other hand\nallows you use more of your bowl blank by using the mortise as the foot of\nyour bow. This also eliminates the need to re-mount your bowl a third time to\nfinish the bottom, as you can finish the bottom entirely before turning the\ninside and still hold it with the jaws. No cole jaws required! While the\nchoice between Mortise and Tenon is mostly subjective, many turn to the tenon\nby default as it is easier to cut with a bowl gouge. That’s why we created\nthis tool: to give you more choice in your turning projects at an affordable\nprice. Now when you’re working with a small bowl blank and don’t want to waste\nmaterial, or are tired of remounting finished bowls and putting marks on the\nrim, avoiding those problems and cutting a mortise is no obstacle. Can you use\nthis tool to cut a tenon? Yes, you definitely can! You’ll need to run your\nlathe in reverse, and cut from the opposite side of your bowl to do so. Many\nfind tenons easier to cut with a gouge and\/or skew, and this would avoid the\nneed to run your lathe in reverse, but if you want to use our tools for\nmortises and tenons alike you certainly can!\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eHandle Length: 8-1\/2 inches, Full Length: 13-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eStandard 15 degree angle fits most common dovetail jaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eTool Markings  25mm (1), 50mm (2) 75mm (3) 100mm (4) and 130mm (5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eDesigned with both comfort and control in mind, the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions at the lathe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eRGWOOD is a brand you can trust for quality woodturning accessories and equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RGWOOD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48068491870359,"sku":"B0FQFGDFBV","price":305.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0461\/8380\/9175\/files\/B0FQFGDFBV.jpg?v=1785073747","url":"https:\/\/newnestshop.com\/products\/1-2-m2-cryogenic-dovetail-scraper-wood-lathe-turning-tool","provider":"NewNest Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
