Crown Round Nose Scraper 25mm M2 Cryogenic Steel Woodturning Tool

Eligible for FREE Shipping*

Scrapers are used to finish work pieces or to plane a piece that would be difficult to access with a standard chisel (timbers that are otherwise difficult to turn - i.e. Radiata pine). Examples of this are turning recesses for chucks (square end scrapers) or finishing the inside of a bowl (round nose scrapers). All scrapers are suitable for use along the grain or on end-grain work.

These scrapers are perfect for achieving a smooth finish after shaping has been completed by other tools. 

Blade length = 165mm
Handle length = 320mm

About Crown Cryogenic Steel

The Crown Cryogenic range are high quality turning tools with a difference. Using cryogenically treated tools means that now you can turn more and sharpen less often. The tools are made from M2 Steel that are heat treated normally then taken down to temperatures as low as -185°C which changes the molecular structure of the steel.

The two main crystals in tooling steel are the larger and softer austenite and the smaller, more stable martensite.  Normal heat treatment seeks to transform the austenite to martensite to produce steel with good wear characteristics and an amount of ductile properties.

The cryogenic process greatly enhances and accelerates the austenic transformation.  Another benefit is that at these extreme temperatures, fine ‘eta’ carbides are formed within the carbon structure.  Growing very slowly and only at these very low temperatures, ‘eta’ carbides are extremely small and act as a ‘filler’ between the other crystals in the metal.

The combined effect of heat treatment and cryogenic processing is to produce a refined crystal structure in your hand tool that will give a lifetime’s service by producing a blade that will retain its edge longer and give a superior ‘feel’ in use.

All Crown Cryogenic Turning Tools are finished with beautiful black Ash handles.
