Crown HSS Turning Tools The turning tools forged by the Sheffield-based Crown company meet the expectations of even the most demanding woodturner. The excellent design, uncompromising quality of the materials and expert craftsmanship have made Crown an undisputed market leader.
The PRO-PM HSS turning tools are ultra-high- performance tools. Powder metallurgy (PM) involves mixing, compacting and sintering alloy powders to form incredibly durable composite metals. The powdered metals used by Crown contain a high percentage of Cobalt (8%) and Tungsten (10.5%), making them highly resistant to wear. A test performed by Woodturning Magazine (No. 93) showed that PRO-PM tools hold their edge three times longer than HSS tools. They are also tough, resistant to breakage and just as sharpenable as conventional tools. All PRO-PM tools come fitted with Ash handles. The dimensions specified are approximate values.
