The Badger Cub tools are the result of listening to our customers. The Badger series of tools with the #3/#5 cutters are some of our most popular tools. Over time, our customer feedback was to bring out more tools with the small #1 cutter. The #1 cutter is 6mm which makes it a customer friendly tool and very easy to control, yet is very effective at removing a lot of wood.
With minimal practice, the #1 cutter will achieve very good finishes. The only differance between the Full Size Badger and the Badger Cub is the diameter of the cutter. The Badger Cub will use the #1 cutter (6 mm diameter) and the Full Size Badger will use the #3/#5 cutter 10mm diameter). My preference is to use the Badger Cub for roughing and first cuts and then finish with the Full Size Badger. Both tools are built on the existing 5/8” shank which is a strong shank to minimize vibration and chatter.
The Badger Cub tools are real problem solvers. The box makers, vase makers, and those that turn small hollow forms find the Badger Cub tools are useful “go to” rough and first cut followed by finishing tools. The Badger Series of tools are manufactured from 5/8” round shank material with a turned taper to hold the respective cutter.
All tools are shipped with the screw and cutter installed along with a Torx Flag Style wrench for cutter rotation.
The Badger Cub Straight Tool was designed for the box makers and the turners who like to work on smaller but deep vessels.

The handled Badger Cub Straight tool is provided with a 17” wood handle and has a shaft projection of 8”. Without a handle, the overall length of the tool is 11”. We recommend a 17” handle with about 3” of the shaft epoxied into the handle.
Both the Badger Cub straight tool and the Badger Cub swan neck tool use the #1 Cutter, #1 Screw and the #1 Torx wrench.
The Badger Cub Full Swan tool is 5/8” bar stock with a turned taper to hold the #1 Cutter. The shaft is about 10 ½” long. This tool is especially useful for turning the undercut areas in boxes and the insides of hollow forms such as a Southwest style hollowed form. It is a variation of the standard Badger Straight tool, with the only difference being the distinctive swan-neck.
