Quality Turning Tools by Vicmarc

Bowl Gouges

These Bowl Gouges are made from special steel called Vanadis 10; a high vanadium alloyed powder metallurgical tool steel offering a unique combination of excellent abrasive wear resistance along with good chipping resistance.

These tools have a parabola cutting profile which allows the wood shavings to flow easily and is preferred by most professional wood turners

Fixed Bore Tool Handles

These tool handles have been designed to be both ergonomical and functional. The handles are manufactured from high grade aluminium with a soft PVC outer shell. There profile of the handles have a flat surface either side near the tool end that makes them more comfortable to hold and stops them from rolling when put down.

The back of each tool handle can also be unscrewed allowing the filling of the inner core with vibration absorbing lead shot.

Quick Release Tool Handles

The Quick Release Tool Handles come with the same features of the fixed bore tool handles; however they also have a unique tool locking feature. Rather than the standard grub screw configuration, that can make changing tools tedious, you can simply insert your tool and twist the front of the handle in either direction, locking the tool in place.

These tools are like being handed the keys too a Porsche

Hey Ken,

Quick email to say how pleased I am with the Carter and Son tools. I’m re-learning how to turn all over again it seems but what a joy to get covered in a pile of curly shavings, lol. These tools are like being handed the keys too a Porsche after driving a Russian Lada. I’ve just started working with the bowl gauge, the spindle gauge is amazing, especially on higher speed, the shavings fly off.

The bowl gauge works so well at my lowest speed, it’s just so much safer. The only problem I have now is that all other tools fail in comparison... Starting too think about a couple more down the road once I get more time flying curly shavings.

Cheers,

Trevor, NS.

Dovetail jaws are the best out there

Ken,

Wow!. I am extremely impressed with the VM 100 chuck. I have not found any other that runs as smoothly. It runs true and precise. Dovetail jaws are the best out there and direct thread is an added bonus.

Thanks Very Much,

Antho, Duncan. BC.

Friendly, informative, customer friendly approach

I purchased a Vicmarc VL240 from “Branches to Bowls Ltd” in October, 2017. Negotiations, details, and agreements were all done long distance (phone and email). I was very pleased with Ken’s friendly, informative, customer friendly approach throughout the process (and since). Now I am enjoying an excellent lathe that is versatile, stable, powerful and precise! This workhorse runs for hours without any sign of heating...all sizes and types of wood keep changing shape...and I...enjoy!

...and I hum my theme song (from the Byrds)...”There is a season, turn, turn, turn...”

My VM-100 is by far the best!

I have chucks from all the major manufacturers, but my VM-100 is by far the best! I love that it is easy to use but more importantly its holding power!

Service I received from Ken was outstanding and exceptional in every way

Recently I needed to acquire an accessory for my Vicmarc VL300 lathe. After contacting all of the Vicmarc dealers in the U.S. together with all of the woodturning specialty houses with whom I was familiar, I had no success, the typical response being that the accessory I needed might be available in three to six months.

Then I discovered Ken Rude at Branches to Bowls. com in Canada. Ken is the Canadian Vicmarc dealer. I called and spoke directly with him - the accessory I needed was in stock - and in a matter of a few days I had the Vicmarc accessory I needed. To me, customer service is extremely important, and the service I received from Ken was outstanding and exceptional in every way. From my initial conversation - to timely updates regarding pricing and shipping - to follow up e-mails to assure on time receipt of my order, Ken’s service was fast, professional, personable, and customer oriented.

I could not have been more pleased. It is so good to have a supplier that is dedicated to providing quality Vicmarc equipment together with truly outstanding customer service.

Sincerely,

Kyle D. Opelika, Alabama.
