FULL DESCRIPTION
These turning tools are made from M2 high-speed steel which has been cryogenically hardened, to ensure an extremely long service life. Cryogenic hardening is a technical process, where the steel is cooled down to -185°C after hardening, resulting in an edge that will last up to 5 times longer than conventionally hardened high-speed steel. This process makes the tools ideal for turning oily abrasive woods, exotic woods, green and hard woods, allowing the turner to turn wood rather than spend time re-sharpening the blade. The blades have a super fine cutting edge with reduced burr formation, which results in a clean, smooth finish and a superior feel in use. The blades are remarkably fast and easy to sharpen, as they allow you to remove less material than before to produce a perfect razor sharp edge. The blades are hardened to HRC63-65 and are ready to use, having been bevelled, sharpened and polished.

The full-size handles are ergonomically designed to allow for optimum grip and comfort and are made from a slow growing beech that has been selected for its straight grain, to ensure maximum strength. The shanks of the high-speed steel blades are buried deep into the beech handles and secured by a solid stainless steel ferrule.

Bead forming tools have become increasingly popular over the past few years as turners look to add new finishes and profiles to their turning. Bead tools are designed for cutting perfect semi-circular beads in multiple sequence. These are excellent full-size woodturning tools. ©

really impressed me lately: the 1/2" Cryogenic M2 HSS Bowl Gouge

Impressed me lately: the 1/2" Cryogenic M2 HSS Bowl Gouge. If you're into wood turning, especially bowls, this thing is an absolute beast. I've been putting it through its paces. Sometimes I have problems distinguishing between my gouges due to my illness, so I use the label taped to the handle to show which gouge I am using

Multi turning gouge offer.

I bought 3 turning gouges on the special offer. When they arrived the quality looked excellent, I made a bowl to test them and was pleased with their performance and edge holding.
I would definitely them recommend to anyone, they are better than the last ones I bought from a well known firm.
