Hamlet Craft Tools Glenn Lucas M42 Bottom Finishing Bowl Gouge

The Hamlet Craft Tools Glenn Lucas M42 Bottom Finishing Bowl Gouge was designed to Glenn's specifications and sharpened with one purpose in mind; the fine finishing cuts on the bottom interior of a bowl, to give a clean polished finish. The square-end profile with double bevel grind produces an exceptionally clean cut with little or no tear-out and the short 4" flute gives added strength and extra reach over the tool rest. It also has a masterflute parabolic profile (the only flute profile on the Glenn Lucas gouges) for easier sharpening and improved chip clearance.

This fine turning tool, featuring an M42 High Speed Steel blade, combines traditional handcrafting and forging skills with modern heat treatment to deliver the design and edge retention properties demanded by woodturners of today. M42 Stay Sharp tools set a new standard for quality and performance in woodturning tools. Unlike other types of high speed/PM tool steel that sacrifice extreme edge retention for the ability to be honed to a keen edge, or vice versa, M42 Stay Sharp tools provide both for optimum performance you can count on.

The blade is carefully forged, hardened and triple-tempered, and then hardness tested to guarantee edge retention.
