The Abranet sanding paper can be cut into discs which sticks directly onto the Simon Hope Sanding Arbors. The 115mm wide strips ensures minimum wastage as 2 x47mm or a 72m with 2x36mm discs can be cut next to each other on the 115mm wide strip. These discs are the standard sizes of the Simon Hope sanding arbors.

With Abranet, Mirka has succeeded in something where many others have previously failed – to develop a completely even sanding net. Its thousands of holes provide phenomenal dust extraction. The maximum distance from each sanding particle to the closest dust extraction hole is just 0.5 mm. This clever structure provides many advantages.

We stock a variety of grits and you will find one perfect for every sanding job!

Henry Taylor Stock has arrived!!

Creative Turning SA stocks a wide range of Henry Taylor turning tools of both the Diamic and Hamlet brands. Henry Taylor has been established in 1834 in Sheffield in the UK. They are well known for manufacturing high quality woodworking and woodturning tools.

They have also worked with many well known woodturners to create signature tools, Jason Breach, Ray Key, Richard Raffan, Escoulen, Ian Wilkie, Stuart Mortimer, Alan Lacer and Glen Lucas.
The original Superflute, Diamic bowl gouge which was designed in 1978 by Roy Child remains my personal favourite for using in my workshop.

The range consists of M2 High Speed Steel gouges, Kryo treated gouges for longer edge retention and the ultimate M42 ‘Stay Sharp’ gouges which holds its edge for a very long time.

A new product is the HCT169 Three Piece Pen Turning set.
