ntricate designs found on cabinets and old fashioned rocking horses don't come easily. They are available because certain wood carving tools make it possible.  The Powercrafter is one of the premiere wood carving tools that makes intricate wood carving designs easier.

The Powercrafter air turbine tool is becoming more and more common among wood carving supplies. This wood carving tool combines the size of a small chisel and the power of a wood carving chainsaw. It is roughly the size of a desk pen and fits nicely into one's hand. Even though it is compact, the Powercrafter is equipped with many different parts.

First, the Powercrafter is equipped with an internal muffler, located at the top of the device. The small muffler enables the small tool to operate quietly. At the top, above the muffler, there is a smooth plunger that allows for an easy ejection of the cutters. Attached to the outside of the muffler is the EZ release. This is a simple swivel that can be removed when lubing the inside of the Powercrafter, to prevent the chisel from getting stuck. The Powercrafter also features a compact head, which allows access into tight crevices. The 440 stainless steel device also features a comfortable groove at the bottom to prevent fingers from slipping.

The Powercrafter assists wood carving in one distinct way. Once the piece of wood has been shaped, the device is used to  create intricate, small designs at a faster rate than one could with a simple chisel. The small pen-like apparatus allows the artist to move in and out of tight spaces in the wood. The air that softly blows out removes debris at a constant rate. To use a Powercrafter one simply turns it on and holds it like a pen, carving the tiny designs like one would draw on paper.

One of the most showcased features is the gentle air flow that removes debris and its 400,000 rpm, or rotations per minute. It is the fastest high speed turbine tool in the market. Other high speed turbine tools only generate 30,000-50,000 rpm. At such a high rpm allows carvers a smooth and fast utensil.

Like most wood carving supplies, the Powercrafter is available at a wide range of stores online. It can be purchased at the company's official website and The Sculpting Studio. At The Sculpting Studio it is available in many different models. The website offers the standard 400,000 rpm model and a 500,000 rpm model. This website also offers wood carving supplies to keep the Powercrafter in top shape. Replacement cutters, lube, and speed valve are available for between $4-$15.

The Powercrafter allows an artist to create beautiful, intricate designs on any piece of wood. The smooth design and grooved grip gives the artist comfort with speed, which is something that can't be done with a regular wood carving chisel. This air turbine tool is the premiere tool for quick, easy designs.
