    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

    3/8” Spindle Gouge

    Purchased this for my husband as a Christmas present. He turns beautiful boxes and had his eye on this tool for the best part of 2022. He has been using it a lot since getting it and says, “this gouge is so nice it makes hollowing the top and base of a box easier than any gouge I’ve ever had and stays sharp way longer than I can believe.”

    Nice tool!

    Recently tried a couple of spindle gouges from Carter and Son tools. I have to say they live up to all the great reviews I’ve read. High quality, and very sharp right out of the box. Seem to hold an edge longer than my other tools also. Definitely recommend anyone to try one.

    Always above expectations!!

    I have purchased from Robert Sorby, Doug Thompson and a number of others and none compare to the quality that Carter and Son provide. This is my fifth tool purchased and once again, they have hit the mark again.
    Terrific tool that assists me with the details on my peppermills. Thanks again for a perfect toy!!
