Crown HSS Spindle Gouge Woodturning Tool

Crown is renowned in the hand tool world for delivering a blend of tradition and innovation. Whether it’s for something beginner or bespoke, their range of HSS woodturning tools crafted in Sheffield, England suit all levels of woodturners.

Manufactured from durable M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) and hardened to 62-64 Rockwell, this tool is carefully ground and ready to turn right out of the box. Due to its high abrasion resistance, M2 HSS will hold a sharp edge much longer than many other steels. This means less time spent sharpening those unique grinds, and more time spent woodturning. High-speed steel also withstands the heat better than traditional carbon steel, making it particularly well suited to turning tools.

The wooden Beech handles with steel ferrules are ergonomically balanced for ease of use during extended woodturning sessions. Beautifully finished, these lovingly crafted tools have been made for decades of use, until they find the hands of the next generation of turners.

Spindle Gouge

Spindle gouges are used along the edge of the grain for creating smooth, curved shapes on spindles. Their slightly shorter length provides excellent control for close cutting coves, rolling beads and ogee curves. The edge is typically ground at 45-degrees with a pointed tip ground for finer turning details.
