M42 high speed steel is considered by many top turners to be the "holy grail" of tool steel for woodturning. Unlike other types of high speed steel that sacrifice extreme edge retention for the ability to be honed to a keen edge, or vice versa, M42 offers both for optimum performance you can count on.

Best you'll find
Jay in AZ
Comments On Jan 06, 2021:We all know about the advantages of M42, but the real reason to get this roughing gouge is the design. It has a round tang like a bowl gouge (I suspect it's milled from a billet rather than using a flat piece of stock with the edges curved up like a regular RG) which adds plenty of strength exactly where roughing gouges with a flat tang fail. The extra safety is reason enough to go with this design and truthfully all other manufacturers should make them this way.

Great Edge Holding
Joe in TX
Comments On May 26, 2020:There isn't that much to say about a spindle roughing gouge, but the M42 steel in this one holds an edge really well even on tough woods like Mesquite and Texas Ebony.

A great tool
Mark in WI
Comments On Mar 12, 2018:I have been wood turning for less than a year and started with a set of low end tools. I have been replacing them a tool at a time. All I can say about Carter and Sons tools is WOW! They cut great. I will be purchasing additional tools in the future.
