Beading Tools

Our Wood Turning Beading Tools are produced using M42 Cobalt HSS. They are used with the flute down - in a shear cutting manner. Sizes given are the bead size. Shaft sizes are listed in the description section of the product page. Our beading tools can be used on faceplate or spindle work. 

Recommend our 8" length handle with 1/2" receiver for all of our beading tools, including the Diamond Tool. Will require a 1/2" to 3/8" handle reducer bushing to fit the tool(s) into a 1/2" receiver handle, except the 5/16" & 3/8" which have 1/2" (0.515) diameter shafts. Don't forget to pick up some Quick Change Knobs.

For these projects we suggest including the following sizes:

• For Boxes - 1/16, 3/32, 1/8.
• For "Basket of Illusion" - 1/8, 3/16.
• For Bowls - 1/4, 5/16, 3/8. Also consider purchase of the 1/2" Beading Tool - not included in sets, sold separately.
• Diamond Tool is good for all applications!
