David Lloyd Tools Negative Rake Carbide Tip Set (3)
Discover the difference negative rake makes with our negative rake carbide tip set — three essential tips in one great value package. Whether you’re new to negative rake cutting or looking to build up your tip collection, this set gives you the three most useful negative rake profiles together, ready to swap in whenever the job calls for a smoother, safer cut.
The negative rake angle changes everything about how a carbide tip interacts with your material. The cutting edge angles downward, producing a less aggressive, more controlled cut that significantly reduces the risk of catches and delivers a noticeably smoother surface finish. Particularly impressive on acrylics, resins and plastics — but equally valuable on wood when you want a clean, refined finish without the cleanup.
What’s included:
- Round Negative Rake 15mm — the most forgiving everyday tip, perfect for general work and smooth finishing cuts on any material
- Square Negative Rake 15mm — clean flat surfaces and crisp shoulders with the safety of negative rake geometry
- Diamond Precision Negative Rake — fine detail work with a precision point, but with the controlled cutting action of negative rake
All three tips are genuine David Lloyd Tools carbide tips, precision made to fit our handmade chisel range perfectly. Each tip comes with its own fixing screw and Allen key.
Why negative rake? Standard carbide tips are excellent all-round performers. But negative rake tips take things further — the angled cutting edge is less likely to catch, produces less tearout on difficult grain and delivers a cleaner surface that needs less sanding. Many experienced turners keep a set of negative rake tips specifically for finishing work and for turning acrylics and resins.
What’s included:
- 3 x Negative rake carbide tips (Round 15mm, Square 15mm, Diamond Precision)
- 3 x Fixing screws
- 3 x Allen keys
Compatible with: All David Lloyd Tools chisels. These negative rake tips are designed to fit our standard chisel shafts — simply swap your existing tip for a negative rake tip whenever the job calls for it.
Negative Rake Carbide Tip Set — Best Value
As the maker of these tools, I use our carbide chisels every day in my own workshop. The negative rake tips are particularly impressive for smooth finishing work and for turning acrylics — the clean, controlled cut they produce is immediately noticeable. That’s not marketing — it’s personal experience.
We try not to be beaten on price — direct from the maker, no middleman markup. Buying as a set saves you money compared to buying each tip individually. Any problems will always be handled personally to make sure you’re completely happy. That’s the David Lloyd Tools promise.
