These high-quality turning tools are designed to meet the needs of any skill level woodturner, from beginner to demanding professional. High-speed steel blades are hardened to Rc 62-64 and set in extra-long 16" hardwood handles with brass ferrules. Extra length of the handles allows greater control and comfort for those long turning sessions. High-speed steel blades stay sharp up to six times longer than carbon steel. Available exclusively at Woodcraft, these tools represent great value and quality. 6-3/4" blades are set in 16" hardwood handles with brass ferrules. Honing required before use.About Us: Founded in Boston in 1928, Woodcraft's operations were moved to Parkersburg, West Virginia in 1989.
