Thank you. I can only afford one right now, would the round or curved
square be most useful?

Interesting... I didn't have a problem, Idlehands. In fact, I saved the site for future reference, if I ever have the time to get my Lathe going. (Thanks Leon!)

I use Vipre for Internet protection. It's pretty sound, according to my IT guys.

Try opening a new browser and simply typing the site instead of connecting via link, maybe (?)

I don't pretend to be a computer guy, though!!

What do you like to turn most? The curved square might be good if you
like doing things with squareish edges, like straight sided bowls or
maybe lids. The round might be good if you do more spindle turning.

I found these guys, but haven't used their products at all:
http://eddiecastelin.com/combos_and_other_items

Might be a good alternative to Easy Wood Tools.

I am not a turning guru. But these tools get the job done. IMHO the
round will allow more curves in your turnings. Curved straight for spindle
type turnings.

I would say "you" have a problem with your virus protection program.

Avast on my Home PC allows access. However, the site is blocked on my corporate PC.
When sites are blocked we get a generic "corporate" page saying the site "has been identified as
containing content that could pose a risk to the Firm and or may not comply with one or more
of the Firm's policies." We never know if it's an virus issue or just something that our IT
security team doesn't like.

I can access Rockler, Woodcraft, Lee Valley, etc.with no problem, so there is *something*
going on with the easywoodtools site that raises a concern within our system and apparently
with some AV programs/settings. It could be as simple as http vs. https.

easywoodtools apparently does not use https.

Netstat is blocked. ;-)

Youtube is not blocked, but Facebook is, sort of. Facebook returns a totally different
message.

Chrome: This site can't be reached, might be down or moved, etc.
IE: This page can't be displayed, make sure the web address is correct, etc.

IOW We get a "browser based" message as opposed to being re-directed to the
corporate "website is blocked by firm" message page. I don't know why they handle
Facebook (and Twitter) via the browsers.

Perhaps it's the "auto-connect", something that I am not familiar with since I don't use
Facebook. They all have links to Facebook on their pages. How is that different than the
"auto-connect" you speak of?

My first Easy Wood turning tool was one with the round tip (I turn
mostly pens and small objects like that). Still use it most of the
time, though I have since acquired a square-ended tip also. That one
seems to help when working on straight lines. Personally, I'd suggest
the round tip to start with.

Trust me, unless you're using a browser plugin such as NoScript (or
similar) to actively block, you "auto-connect" w/Facebook and/or a
hella lot more sites, whether intended or not, with most URLs nowadays.

They all have links to Facebook on their pages. How is that different than the
"auto-connect" you speak of?

Uh, because embedded links require 'clicking-on' before connecting

Sorry makes a tool with interchangeable heads. It accommodates square, diamond and round carbide or steel blades. Because of the mechanics of the interchangeable head you need to work a tad further from your piece. I have used this and dedicated carbide tools. While I prefer the dedicated tools, the three in one makes for an economical choice.

"auto-connects" to Facebook? I don't see anything, do anything, have an
account, etc. So what happens with/during my connection?

Well, in the case of www.easywoodtools.com, not much really.
It appears to just offer up their Facebook 'Like' widget thingy which
is located just under '100% satisfaction guaranteed stamp' (on my PC)

I don't see anything, do anything, have an

Decide for yourself. In FF or Chrome goto http://www.easywoodtools.com
, press Ctrl+U (view page source) scroll down to line 126, study
it closely, then post your findings.

Why not make your own?

I used a 4 sided carbide cutter insert that came with my planer from
Grizzly. Had some wrought iron railing laying around, hacked a short
piece off and ground a seat for the carbide insert. Drilled and tapped
a hole for the insert, turned a handle and wallah, a nice and easy
carbide lathe tool. Saved myself an easy $129 for about an hours (less)
of work. Works exactly as expected. Here's a pic if it:

http://jbstein.com/Flick/LtoolP1080208.JPG

Grizzly sells the cutters in packs of 10 for $37 and since they are 4
sided, should last your lifetime, and your kids and grandkids lifetime
as well:

http://www.grizzly.com/products/Inde...ce=grizzly.com

You probably could buy just one for under $5.00. Other cutters in
different shapes can be bought all over the place, although probably
more money.
