Samurai,two angles.jpg (7627 bytes)This is probably the best tool on the market for cutting through large amounts of wood quickly and safely. It removes as much wood as the traditional 2 flute router bits but doesn't have the tendency to "kick out" like they do. They also seem never to clog. The large version has rotating/changeable cutting surfaces so there is no need to spend time sharpening the bit or even worse costly replacement. As you can see by the picture on the right they are built for years of hard use.

Samurai&tools.jpg (12733 bytes) This shows the Samurai with a replacement set of cutting teeth and the tool required to replace the teeth. However due to the design of the Samurai you can simply loosen the teeth and rotate them to a fresh sharp cutting edge. Thus you get a lot of use out of the teeth before you ever need to think of replacement.

In order to not ignore those artists who want the carving advantages of the Samurai but don't require a heavy duty cutting bit we have the Samurai Junior. Don't be fooled this bit will still handle most of the heavy dutySamuraiJr.-Lg.jpg (7376 bytes) work of the full size bit can be run in the smaller die grinders and hand held rotary tools. They are also great to use after roughening out the carving area. The smaller size allows you to start to add more detail to your jin and shari. This can also be had for a considerable amount less than the full size Samurai. The only difference is that the Samurai Junior doesn't offer the replaceable cutting teeth. As you can see from the picture it is available in 2 shank sizes.

If that doesn't convince you of the superior design of this tool here are some statements offered by a just a few of the many well known Bonsai Artists that rely on the Samurai for their creations.

Ernie Kuo, Buena Park, California
"It cuts through green wood without loading."

Arthur Skolnik, Toronto, Canada
"The Samurai transforms the wild power and blazing speed of a Tasmanian Devil and harnesses it into a strong, smooth and dependable wood eliminator. If you plan on carving, you can depend on a Samurai. It does as you wish effortlessly. It is strong enough for Bob Villa but made for the Smithsonian Museum."

Chase Rosade, New Hope, Pennsylvania
"I have been using the Samurai wood cutter for the past few years. I like it better and it's safer than using a chain saw."

Gary Marchal, New Orleans, Lousiana
"The Samurai is an aggressive bit that even a novice can quickly master. It cuts easily without the feeling of losing control. I highly recommend the 'Samurai' on all of your heavy carving needs."
