This Wood Turning 1/8" Beading Tool is used with the flute down which lets it be used in a shear cutting manner. Sizes are bead size. Can be used on face plate or spindle work.
-- Recommend the 8" handles & quick change knobs for all of our Beading tools and Diamond tool. You now have a choice of handle receiver sizes: 1/2" receiver & 1/2" to 3/8" reducer bushings for handle versatility OR 3/8" receiver for dedicated use with 3/8"/.390 sized tools. See below for beading tool shaft sizes.
Note: Light touch is all that is needed; longer handles interfere with the bed of lathe.

I find this tool easy to use, especially once you get a feel for it. I find this bead size perfect for nice detail on a variety of things I turn. I was impressed with the quality of the tool, and how quickly it was in my hands.
I think it's great.

Years ago, I purchased beading tools from a different manufacturer, with satisfactory results. Following my research and planning for future projects, I purchased this 1/8" beading tool based on other professional woodturners' recommendations and videos. I also just purchased the 8" handle with 3/8" reducer. I know I'll be very pleased with my results with this beader in my tool arsenal.

I’ve been using the 1/4” tool and now have the 1/8” they work as designed; perfect symmetrical beads each time.

Started beading by using a modified detail gouge, then saw Harvey Meyer using D-Way 1/8 inch tool. Ordered one, then checked the mailbox daily here in Australia. Excitement plus when it arrived. Have now used it for a basket weave illusion - fantastic to use, fantastic to control, and fantastic result. Will be demonstrating it at a local club, you need a distributor in Australia. Thank you.

The D-Way beading tools along with the video make the basket illusion much easier and cleaner than other tools I have used.

Just getting started with basket weave illusion techniques. Started out with a Sorby 1/4" beading tool but did not like the results. By watching videos, I learned about D-Way tools and soon ordered one without the handle. Have completed two projects and like what I see. I like using the tool over segmented pieces which avoids the issue of dealing with end grain.

Both have performed perfectly. Sure beats trying to turn them the old way. I'll be looking to buy more D-Way tools in the future. Customer service has been super.
Many thanks

As with all of Dave's tools, the beading tools perform exactly as described and are a joy to use. They don't need a handle.

These are by far the best tools for beading. They are easy to use and leave a smooth surface that is ready for finish.
I also find that the tools stay sharper than the other beading tools I have tried.
