Carbide Tips (SQUARE NEGATIVE RAKE 15mm)

Description

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

Take control of your finishing work with a genuine replacement carbide chisel tip — Square Negative Rake 15mm. The negative rake angle transforms how this tip interacts with your material, delivering cleaner, smoother cuts with significantly less risk of catches or dig-ins. Simply swap it in seconds and experience the difference immediately.

The square negative rake tip combines the clean flat cutting profile of a square tip with the forgiving, controlled cutting action of a negative rake angle. The result is a tip that excels at smooth flat surfaces, clean shoulders and finishing cuts — but with far more control and safety than a standard square tip. Whether you’re working on wood, acrylics or resins, the negative rake geometry reduces aggression and delivers a noticeably smoother surface finish.

This is the tip that experienced turners reach for when they want the precision of a square profile without the risk of a catch. It’s also an excellent choice for beginners who want to build confidence at the lathe with a more forgiving tool.

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

Compatible with: All David Lloyd Tools chisels fitted with a square carbide tip, including our single square chisel and any chisel sets containing the square chisel. Note: at 15mm this tip is slightly smaller than our standard 15mm square tip due to the negative rake geometry.

As the maker of these tools, I use our carbide chisels every day in my own workshop — including for finishing the aluminium collars on the chisels themselves. The negative rake tips are particularly impressive for smooth finishing work, delivering a cleaner surface with less cleanup needed afterwards. 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.
