The Hercules Tool was designed for the first cuts on a new piece.  Let this hard working 5/8” Shank Hercules takes all of the shock and interruption.  The 5/8″ shank is a strong shank and any impacts are absorbed by the shank and then distributed into the tool rest and down into the ways of the lathe.  This tool can also perform with a “soft touch” for those final finish cuts.  The Hercules Tools have a 45 degree flat milled on the lower shaft which helps guide the turner for the bevel rubbing finish cuts.

The shaft length on this tool is 6” from the handle.  The handled tool comes with a 17” handle which is the recommended length if you choose to make your own handle.  The shank is a 5/8” turned round shank.

The 5/8” Square Shank Hercules uses the # 3 components.  They are # 3 Cutters, # 3 Screw, and # 3 Wrench.
