  Carbide tools have become increasingly popular with woodturners in recent years.  Is it all hype and great marketing?  Are these tools only for beginners, or are they a valuable addition to every woodturners toolkit?  Come out and listen to a panel of both new and experienced guild members and find out the facts.”  A variety of carbide tools will be available to inspect and see in action (time permitting).
