Carbide Tips (ROUND NEGATIVE RAKE 15mm)

David Lloyd Tools Replacement Carbide Chisel Tip Round Negative Rake 15mm

Upgrade your turning experience with a genuine replacement carbide chisel tip — Round Negative Rake 15mm. The negative rake angle changes the way this tip interacts with your material, making it one of the most forgiving and versatile tips in our range. Simply swap it in seconds and discover a noticeably different cutting experience.

The negative rake design angles the cutting edge downward, producing a less aggressive cut than a standard round tip. This means significantly reduced risk of catches, a smoother surface finish and greater control — particularly valuable when working with acrylics, resins and plastics where a standard tip can chip or tear the material. On wood it delivers beautifully smooth finishing cuts with less tendency to dig in, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced turners alike.

If you turn pen blanks from acrylic or resin — or if you simply want a more forgiving tip for your finishing work on wood — the negative rake round tip is well worth adding to your collection.

These are genuine David Lloyd Tools carbide tips, precision made to fit our handmade chisel range perfectly. The same high quality carbide that comes fitted to our new chisels — sharp, long lasting and capable of producing beautifully clean cuts on any material.

Why replace rather than sharpen? Traditional high speed steel chisels need regular grinding to maintain their edge — time away from the lathe and gradual loss of tool material. Carbide tips last significantly longer and when they do eventually wear, replacement takes seconds rather than minutes. It’s a genuinely better system for the modern woodturner.

What’s included:

• 1 x Round Negative Rake 15mm carbide tip
• 1 x Fixing screw
• 1 x Allen key

Compatible with: All David Lloyd Tools chisels fitted with a round carbide tip. Note: at 15mm this tip is slightly smaller than our standard 16mm round tip — designed specifically to deliver the negative rake geometry.

Replacement Carbide Chisel Tip Negative Rake

As the maker of these tools, I use our carbide chisels every day in my own workshop. The negative rake tip is particularly impressive when working with acrylics and resins — the stream of material coming off the tool is clean and controlled in a way that standard tips simply can’t match. That’s not marketing — it’s personal experience.

We try not to be beaten on price — direct from the maker, no middleman markup. Any problems will always be handled personally to make sure you’re completely happy. That’s the David Lloyd Tools promise.
