The 9.5mm square section bar ensures the tool sits flat and steady on the tool rest. With the tool parallel to the floor and cutting at centre height, the risk of catches and snatches is virtually eliminated. You don't need to sharpen these tools. When an edge becomes dull you simply slacken the fixing screw and turn to a fresh edge. Easy Wood Tools' carbide keeps an edge many, many times longer than HSS.
