    How This Tool Is Built

    We start with the sharpest edge, and we don't stop there. Vanquish vibration, say adios to constant resharpening, and let wispy shavings fly. Delivering superior performance at your lathe drives our manufacturing. 

    We’ve worked with M42 high speed steel for 4 decades, and it’s uniquely suited to woodturning. You’ll grind less - a cobalt additive provides unparalleled edge holding. And the steel produces a finer, sharper edge for clean cuts. M42 is a win-win: less grinding and smoother cuts. 

    Our carefully sourced M42 starts as solid stock and is precision machined (not formed) with a unique round tang for unmatched strength. Every gouge sports a distinctive flute polish. This boosts the razor edge and provides efficient chip flow. Learn more about M42 HSS here.

    Rigorous and detailed sums up our manufacturing. Each tool’s vibration-demolishing round tang has a diameter so precise you’ll hear a ‘pop’ when you pull it out of the handle. And every tool leaves our factory razor sharp and backed by a 100% lifetime guarantee. Built to last!

    Rest assured our aluminum handles feel as great as they look. Perfectly weighted for balance and maneuverability, and designed to fit your hand. You’ll forget the handle is even there, in the best way possible. Two set screws secure your tool into the handle and allow removal for sharpening.

    From flute polish to handle knurling, we’re not cutting corners. Whether you’re just starting out, or have been turning for decades, it’s an honor to serve you with quality tools. Learn more about our story here

    Fantastic tools! Fantastic company!

    I received my tools and was very impressed not only by the quality of these tools but the packaging itself. The tools we’re ready to go and very sharp. In addition, the handles are wonderful. I will without a doubt purchase more tools from this company in the future.

    1/2" bowl gouge

    I bought a 1/2" bowl gouge and when I received it, it had a flat spot ground on the bottom of the tool. I called and talked to David Carter about it and sent him a picture of it. He thanked me for bringing it to his attention but never asked me to send it back to get it replaced or reground. I have a good friend that ordered a 3/4" bowl gouge before mine and his was ground flat on the bottom also. I had to regrind his and I had to regrind mind. I have 9 of your tools and there great, but I think you're customer service is lacking

    Takes it to a new level

    Seriously, compared with my very decent Sorby and decent Marples Tools, the engineering, stoutness, balance, edge quality, tool hardness and sheer beauty of this 1/2” bowl gouge is remarkable. Side by side, these Carter & Sons tools really do create a different turning experience. I will teach my grandchildren on these — for their own inspiration and safety. Thank you for your passion.

    Perfect!

    I love my new1/2" gouge! It was ground as I requested and is sharp beyond comprehension. I present it to the wood and the shavings just fall off.
