Cutters for wood for handwork

Woodcarving can be both a profession and an exciting hobby . With the help of wood carvings it is possible to produce small artistic products (for example, decorative boxes ) and large items (for example, picture frames, furniture). In order to be able to do this, special tools are required. With the help of these types of wood processing are carried out: sawing, chipping, chipping, planing, chiselling, turning, threading.

Types of wood cutters

Cutters for wood carving include the following types of tools:

1. Knives-cutters. The blade of these knives is beveled at an angle of 30-45 degrees. Knives can be single-phase (used for relief cutting) and two-phase (have a universal purpose).
2. To fill the contour and cut straight long lines use knives-jambs. The cutting angle of these knives is oblique at an angle of 60 °.
3. Chisels. This type of cutter is most in demand when processing wood. These are steel rods with a sharp cutting blade, which are fixed on a wooden handle with a steel ring. Chisels can be:

• Straight and wide - are used for cleaning and cutting flat or convex wooden surfaces;
• Narrow - for cutting parts in narrow places;
• The narrow with the bent blade - for cleaning the deep bottom;
• Straight with a round blade - for processing hardwood or cutting horny pods;
• chisel-chisel with steel thick rod - for processing wood with a deep cavity;
• semicircular (divided into sloping and steep). Designed to cut recesses and flowing lines.

• wide - used to cut large holes;
• Narrow - with their help cut holes with a smaller radius and rounded certain places on the product.

The mistake of most novice woodworkers is that they tend to acquire absolutely all woodcarving cutters. Although it may be quite sufficient to purchase a set of wood chisels from 6-8 pieces.

It can be recommended to pay special attention to the wood cutters for hand work of the German firm Kirschen.

Chisels and other cutters of this company are made of specially designed carbon steel. Hardening of blades is carried out using special immersion methods, which results in the fact that the angle of sharpening of the chisels is kept especially long. Handles for chisels have a shock button and are reinforced with metal rings.

If you are seriously going to do wood carving, then the instrument should be given special attention. For the professional turning of wood, the availability of quality cutters for wood is of prime importance. They must be made of quality steel, wear-resistant, durable and comfortable.
