Dennis Stewart Chatter Tool W/Blade & Manual (G) The Dennis Stewart chatter tool has a blade bent on the end to produce the downward angle of the blade. The blade is held in a hole in the center of the shaft by a locking screw threaded through the shaft itself. I think you can also buy a round profile cutter from Stewart. I mainly use the pointed blade for all the chatter I do. The blade of the Stewart tool has a bevel ground back to about 65 degrees. Chatter works best on the endgrain of real hard wood. I am using a piece of yellow heart because I will be coloring the chatter later and need a light color wood to start with. Other woods that chatter well are cocobolo, boxwood, ebony, lignum vitea, and hard maple to name a few. The harder and denser the wood the cleaner the chatter. Chuck up a piece of suitable wood and start to form the bottom of the top. Turn the bottom toward the tailstock because the tip the top spins on is more important than the tip of the stem, oriented this way allows free access to form the tip to a good point. A spindle gouge will do most all the cutting needed to turn a top.
