M2 HSS Woodturning Tools, 1/16" 2mm Narrow Parting Tool, FORESTWEST BM10923

These premium woodturning tools, 1/16" 2mm Narrow Parting Tool are made from M2 high-speed steel which has been cryogenically hardened, to ensure 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.
