double ended Beading tool (Hope)
Beading Tool – Double-Ended Precision Chisel
Turn crisp, perfectly shaped beads in seconds – and enjoy a beautifully smooth finish on end grain. This double-ended beading tool is a versatile, high-quality chisel designed for both decorative work and precision finishing. Made from a single piece of 16 mm Cryo-hardened HSS M2 steel, 300 mm long, it fits most interchangeable handles. One end cuts 5 mm beads, the other 10 mm, giving you full flexibility when turning decorative profiles, spindle details, or captive rings.
Versatile design
More than just a beading tool — the sharp edges on both sides act like a mini skew chisel, perfect for fine parting cuts and producing an exceptionally smooth surface, especially on end grain or delicate edges.
Fits most handles
16 mm is the most common shank size for interchangeable handles. For Hope handles, use the blue (medium) collet.
