Get into a smooth groove instantly with the X Series Fluting Tools, our newest line of clay carvers! We now have nine choices of fluting tools with blades that create a variety of convex gradients within the carved edges. These thin, stainless-steel blades flex with pressure, allowing you to control the exact depth and width of a line that each tool’s opening can accommodate. This unique design makes every line as unique as the artist who carves it.

The new X8 Double U Fluting Tool creates buttery-smooth, 12-mm-wide lines with convex sidewalls and a double U groove in the valley of the cut. Whether pulling a straight or curved line through your ceramic piece, this fluting tool will respond to your hand’s pressure and remove material with precision.

True to our other clay carvers, the pencil-like handle and soft grip make it easy to use for longer periods without fatigue. As a bonus, the X Series Fluting Tools come with a replacement blade, should the delicate tip ever become damaged.
