Nagu tools

[John Hicks]

Has anyone used this brand? I cannot find out where they are made; although they tout using German made carbide. I ordered the inertia sander as the Sorby ones I had are kind of seizing up and aren't made very well. I also have the Sanding glove sanding solution which is great but those proprietary pads are pricey and they come apart rather quickly.

Not yet John, still waiting for lathe delivery. Purchased the four tool package, seems to be of good quality and the collet head handle is interesting. Half the price of the Ultra-Shear line with same Nano/Cobalt German inserts.

Not familiar with them. I bought the Harbor Freight 8 piece set with the red handles about 10 years ago and still us them.

Had not heard of them either, but had been eyeballing the Ultra-Shear tools from Woodpecker. The machined in 45 degree angle for a more controlled shear cut seems worth a try at half the price.

Yes, I think I’m up for another adventure...Bilbo Baggins

I have purchased a Nagu eccentric
chuck $69 and am waiting for it now...
It connects using a screw chuck style. they are sold on ETSY ....
Not real sure yet how this will
turn out. or when I get it coming from
the far east....

I did order and have been using the sander, it is ok: the handle is short and the black wood is very slippery. It seems to sand pretty good, and does have a simple bushing instead of a bearing. I think I'll wrap the handle with something. It is not as good as my sanding glove solution sander, and I should have just got another one of those.
