    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 5/8 Performer 40 40

    The Performer 40/40 is my go to gouge, for rough to finish cuts for bowl making. This tool was ready for use right out of the box.

    40/40 Bowl gouge

    Started a maple bowl blank from Rockler. This was especially hard wood. Just turned the outside and my new gouge did a smooth job. THANKS for the sharpening guide and a product made in the USA. I give 5 stars

    5/8” BOWL GAUGE

    I changed the grind to my 40/40 in one minute and it works perfectly. I like more side wings than originally grind it came with, but the change was extremely easy because of the parabolic flute. It stays sharp longer than my other 5/8” bowl gauges!

    Nice 40/40 gouge

    I like the wide flute. It allows for a lot of wood removal if desired. Also nice for finishing cuts on side grain. Nice to have in my arsenal. As with all my Carter tools the quality is top notch.
