1-1/2" Roughing Gouge, M2 HSS Woodturning Tools, FORESTWEST BM10919

Enhance your woodturning capabilities with our premium 1-1/2" (40mm) Roughing Gouge, meticulously crafted from cryogenically hardened M2 high-speed steel. This advanced tool is designed to provide an exceptionally long service life, allowing woodturners to focus on turning wood rather than frequent re-sharpening. The cryogenic hardening process, cooling the steel to -185°C after hardening, results 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 ensures efficiency and durability in every project.
