Robust Nitrided M2 Spindle Roughing Gouge - Unhandled

The Robust 1-1/4” Spindle Roughing Gouge is a personal favorite of professional woodturner Matt Monaco as it is uniquely different from other turning tools. Precision milled from heat-treated M2 High-Speed steel that is “Nitrided” using carbon and nitrogen to increase wear resistance and improve chip ejection significantly, this spindle roughing gouge provides exceptional performance. Sold unhandled. Made in USA.
