When to choose it

Choose this assortment when you want to compare ten Essdee cutter styles before settling on a smaller bench kit. For a print with closely spaced lines and flat cleared areas, start by comparing the fine Style 1 and the wider flat-bottomed Style 7 described in the Essdee chart.

The handle has an aluminum ferrule and holds one cutter at a time. If you already own a matching Essdee handle and only want to keep a spare of your favorite fine profile, the five-pack of Style 1 blades is a more targeted purchase.

Questions about this product

Which profile should I try for a flat-bottomed channel?

Essdee describes Style 7 as a wide flat-bottomed cutter. Test the width on scrap before carving close to detail.

Does this have the recessed safety profile?

The maker lists numbered styles 1 to 10 in this set. The separate safety profile is designated Style A.

Would this give two people the same working profile?

There is one handle and one tip of each style. For a shared workshop, allow for additional handles and duplicates of the commonly used tip.
