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 13 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
13 mm is a common shank size for interchangeable handles. For Hope handles, use the blue (medium) collet.
