A REAL ANIMAL!
Our Weasel may be a legendarily ferocious little animal but what of the Mole? The Oxford English Dictionary describes him as a small burrowing animal with soft fur. Sadly our Mole lacks the fur but it sure can burrow. One long standing problem with carving Bonsai trees, especially bigger trees, is finding a carving tool that will allow us to reach right into the tree. Part of the problem arises from using high RPM which allows the removal of lots of wood but it also generates huge centrifugal force which is not good at the best of times, the problem is exasperated when the cutting bits are very long. Having spent a lot of time pondering this problem we are pleased to introduce the Mole. At 4" (100mm) in overall length it is the longest high speed cutter that can be used in a freehand carving machine. It's solid (very heavy) high grade carbide construction and 4 flute design ensures that it will cut smooth and, more important... safely. Cutting from the tip it can burrow it's way forwards and sideways with ease right into the most inaccessible hollows. A fantastic cutter that opens up a whole range of new creative wood carving possibilities. 100mm overall length. 1/4 inch (6.35MM)diameter. WARNING -Always ensure the cutter is inserted as far as possible into your power tool and tighten securely. NEVER USE WITH AN ILL FITTING OR WORN COLLET NEVER APPLY UNDUE PRESSURE TO THE CUTTING TOOL WHEN IN OPERATION. ALWAYS ENSURE YOUR WORK-PIECE IS WELL SECURED BEFORE STARTING TO CARVE.
