Rikon tungsten carbide insert cutters will stay sharp far longer than conventional carbon or
high speed steel turning tools. Once a cutter finally becomes dull after many hours of use,
it can be quickly rotated to provide a fresh sharp edge. Once all edges have become dull,
they can be touched up with a diamond hone for additional use, or replaced with a new insert
cutter.
Negative rake inserts are for turning very hard materials like plastics, acrylics, resins and dense woods.
