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

The Ultimate Bowl Set

Can't say enough on how I really enjoy using this set. I'll be using these for many years from now. And when I ordered this set I forgot to switch to a negative rake scraper. I called and customer service was awesome and made the correction even though it was my mistake. Looking forward to ordering more tolls from them in the future.

Ultimate Bowl Set

By far the best set of tools I now own. The set arrived sharp and ready to use out of the box, turned a 14” cherry bowl on arrival and they cut flawlessly. The gouges and handles are very well made with good weight and balance. Also a big fan of the negative rake scraper. The sharpening video’s provided on the website are also very helpful. I’ll definitely be shopping at Carter & Son in the future.
