Carter & Son Toolworks 7/8" Roughing Gouge for the Woodworking Lathe

Descripción

Manufactured from solid 7/8" diameter stock, the roughing gouge is a powerful tool. Versatile and strong due to its slightly deeper 'u' shape, the roughing gouge can turn through incredible amounts of material and is optimum for your next roughing project. M42 high speed steel makes the cut It’s no wonder M42 is favored across industries. A distinct cobalt additive bumps M42’s red hardness off the charts, ensuring impressive wear resistance. And M42’s tight molecular structure produces a finer, sharper edge. For woodturners M42’s properties mean less time at the grinder and cleaner cuts at the lathe. Carter and Son was founded because we realized many tools are machined from subpar steel, leaving us (and you!) make far too many trips to the grinder. M42 is the optimal steel for turning wood. It holds a long-lasting razor edge and is quickly sharpened on a conventional grinder. Handles that put comfort & control 1st Carter & Son handles offer comfort and control at your lathe. Aluminum is the perfect weight for a balanced feel. And the comfortable shape fits your hand. Tight tolerances achieved in our factory mean your tool and adapter fit snuggly, reducing vibration. Interchangeability is possible using our aluminum adapters.
