Okay, before I continue, I'm using these cutters on a homemade tool, so this is not a review of the full tool, only the cutter. I bought a Ci0 square cutter. That said, I turned 5 pens today in wood, tru- stone, and various plastics. For a side- to side comparison, I turned 2 rhino plastic pens, 1 with normal tools and 1 start to finish with my carbide tool. Time wise I found there was about a 75% difference, with the carbide being much faster. It threw wood so quick I was able to turn a pen start to finish in the time it usually takes me to round a blank. It worked well on tru- stone, which is what I bought it for. I have no other carbide tools to compare it to, but bottom line, I'm very happy with my EWT cutter.
