Charnwood M2001-2 Cryo Hardened M2 HSS 1.1/8″ Spindle Roughing Gouge
Charnwood M2001-2 Cryo Hardened M2 HSS 1.1/8″ Spindle Roughing Gouge
Intended Use
A spindle roughing gouge is the starting point of the spindle turner’s tool kit. It is used for the initial turning of uneven or square blanks to get to a round shape.
The shape of the roughing-out gouge, a shallow flatter U shaped flute, enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the name given to the tips of the side walls) well back from the work piece.
Spindle roughing gouges must not be used on bowl projects.
Cryo Hardened M2 HSS Woodturning Chisel
Cryogenic treatment of M2 HSS means this steel has been subjected to a complex immersion procedure at temperatures as low as minus 195C. The result is that the High Speed steel has a hardness of 65HRC. That is extremely hard. Typical HSS chisels are 58HRC. A higher hardness level improves wear resistance and edge-holding ability, ensuring that your tools stay sharper for longer, typically 5 times longer than standard HSS chisels.
With M2C chisels you spend more time turning: less time sharpening. When it is time for sharpening the blades are remarkably fast and easy to sharpen, as they allow you to remove less material to produce a perfect razor sharp edge.
With handles made from Ash, distinctive stainless steel ferrules and laser etched blades. The blades are sharpened, polished and ready to go.
