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

"Hello, I just received the GourdMaster Pro Carver II yesterday – couldn’t wait to try it out – I love it!! I’ve been using the Dremel which has been great, but there’s something about the Pro – so quiet, and the handpiece is much more comfortable, low vibration – it was like carving through butter! I wish I lived closer to a gourd farm - not any in my area - Connecticut Thanks, Kathy"

***************************

"I only started working with gourds a year ago. I first bought a Dremel but decided for me that it was harder to use and too much vibration so I bought the Pro Carver from Welburn. It has made a big difference in carving and I love the Pro Carver!" -Peggy J.

***************************

"OHMIGOSH! I just unboxed my new Pro Carver II and even though it’s late, I decided to give it a 5 minute test run.
Let me say, I was happy when I went from a Dremel to the Proxxon. But there is a night and day difference with the Pro Carver! The hand piece fits my hand so much better, it’s lighter and I can barely feel the vibration!! After carving a couple hours with the Proxxon, my hand ends up tingling afterwards. I don’t anticipate that happening with the ProCarver based on what I just felt. Halllelujah! My hand, joints and titanium shoulder are going to be sooo happy!
I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and start carving!" - Lori Smith
