ZipCutter Burr Back in Stock!
Just $14.95 or a 2-pack for Just $24.95! (Save 33%)

The ZipCutter Burr makes cutting and carving gourds a breeze! Use this burr to cut open your gourds, create fancy rims, and more!
 
The special design of this burr means it is lasting and won’t burn out with heavy cutting use.
 
Great for large-hole filigree-style carving, etching, and more!

The Zip-Cutter is a more aggressive burr than the Fili-Point burr, so we recommend it for advanced carvers or those with carving experience. For maximum control, only insert the burr half-way into the gourd shell when cutting, then if needed, go back and make a second or third pass (often needed for those thick Welburn gourds!

This awesome carved gourd is by well-known artist and instructor, Gloria Crane! Gloria recently contacted us to say how much she enjoys using the Zip Cutter burr, so we had to take the opportunity to highlight some of Gloria’s incredible work!

Letters from Customers

"These ball cleaners are super and they are small enough to get in tiny places to clean out the gourds. They are easy to use and I love the fact that I don't have to scrape my gourds as before. The extender is super too and is easy to fit on my equipment. Thanks for making a great product."

- Jocelyn Dobransky
