Introducing Carbatec's Next Level Woodturning Series!
Cryogenic treatment of M2 HSS means this steel has been subjected to a complex immersion procedure at temperatures as low as minus 195C. Sounds fancy (and cold!) but what does this mean? This treatment actually changes the structure of the steel, producing an ultra-fine and hard martensitic structure, supported by fine carbides.
Erm, yes... And in plain terms? Additional wear resistance and edge holding capability of approximately 2 to 3 times that of regular M2 HSS !! Now that's an impressive edge!
All three of our Cryogenic Series Chisels Sets feature this treatment and are coupled with Stainless Steel Ferrules, along with solid and smooth European Hardwood handles. They are even supplied in very 'giftable' black storage boxes, as shown.
This 6 piece large set is a fantastic next-tier kit which will set you up with the basic tools required for just about any turning project, be that spindle or bowl based. We call this a 'large' set, as it contains tools with longer blades and longer handles than our other sets. It contains a 28mm Roughing Gouge; 19mm Flat Skew Chisel; 12mm Spindle Gouge; 12mm Bowl Gouge; 19mm (4mm thick) Diamond Parting Tool and 19mm Round Nose Scraper. The blades are laser etched and 170-220mm in length, while the handles are also laser etched and 320mm in length.
Incredible value for the quality.
