Flexcut Mallet Tool #9 x 1 3/8"

 

Sometimes pushing tools by hand is not the most efficient way to go, especially when carving large projects or denser hardwoods. The mallet tools are designed with just that in mind. Handcrafted with the same long-lasting Flexcut razor edge, the Ash handles can be driven with a mallet or by hand.   

Flexcut Mallet Tool #9 x 1 3/8" 35mm are sized for very extensive stock removal. Their handle diameter and steel caliper are twenty percent larger for intense projects. Carousel carvers, chainsaw carvers and those doing life size statuary will find these tools very speedy for knocking out rough shapes or smoothing out large areas.

These Flexcut mallet  tools are pre-sharpened at the factory to a highly polished razor's edge. This creates an efficient, long-lasting cutting tool. The more polished the edge, the sharper it is and the longer it will stay sharp.

Keeping your tools sharp requires some routine maintenance.  We recommend a  strop and sharpening compound. Flexcut tools are made in the USA from high carbon spring steel and quality craftsmanship.

Tool Maintenance

Having a sharp edge on your carving tool is essential to achieving top-notch results in your carving projects. Not only does it make carving more efficient and easier, but it also prolongs the lifespan of your tools without the need for constant resharpening.Keep in mind that the ideal angle for sharpening your gouge is 15°, which is typically the same angle it's pre-sharpened at. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to keep your carving tools in top condition and enjoy a smoother, more efficient carving experience.As you're deep in the world of carving, it's easy to get lost in the beauty of the wood and the creation happening before your eyes. However, it's important not to forget about the crucial carving accessories and safety supplies that are just as important as the wood and tools themselves.An apron is essential to catch all of the chips of wood flying around, while a tool roll will keep your tools clean and in good condition. But perhaps the most important accessory is carving gloves, finger and thumb guards, which will help keep your hands safe while you're working with sharp tools.So next time you're ready to dive into a carving project, remember to take all of these essential items into account and prioritize safety above all else.
