1-1/8" Wood Turing Tools, HSS M2, FORESTWEST BM10918

Explore the pinnacle of woodturning precision with our premium 28mm Roughing Gouge, meticulously crafted from cryogenically hardened M2 high-speed steel. This advanced technical process involves cooling the steel to -185°C after hardening, resulting in an edge that outlasts conventionally hardened high-speed steel by up to 5 times. Ideal for turning oily abrasive woods, exotic woods, green, and hard woods, this gouge allows woodturners to focus on the craft rather than constant blade re-sharpening. Elevate your woodturning experience with Forestwest's premium 28mm Roughing Gouge – where longevity meets precision, and your craft takes center stage.
