Oval cutter (for wood)- The oval cutters are perfect for virtually any curved shape imaginable especially on the outside of your project. Oval negative rake cutter (for epoxy/resin, hybrid and wood) (INCLUDED)- Like the oval cutter but the negative rake grind also makes this cutter less aggressive. This reduces chipping in very hard materials (epoxy/resin), can reduce tear out in softer materials and provides a great finish in both man-made materials and harder woods. Because the negative rake grind is less aggressive, many people find it easier to use. Rectangular Cutters: The rectangular cutters make it simple to create square inside corners, beads and straight lines. Perfect for the inside and outside base of any project. Rectangle cutter (for wood)- This cutter shines on the outside of bowls, hollow forms, vases, platers, and wooden pen blanks. You'll also love it for simple spindle work too.
