M42 High Speed Steel
With M42 you get the best of everything. The edge lasts a long time - conventional carbon steel variants have no chance of competing, and they last as long as other super steels such as PM and 10V, but are significantly easier to re-sharpen. The other common steel M2 HSS does not last nearly as long. Even M42 still needs to be sharpened once in a while, but if you are afraid that the grinder will have little to do, you should not buy Carter and Sons turning tools.
Allen key 5/32" (3.97mm) for set screws must be ordered separately.
A sharpening manual is included with the purchase of one or more lathes!
Handles are available in different variants with different areas of use, and three handle lengths 20" (50cm) - 16" (40cm) and 12" (30cm). Without an adapter, the handle fits 3/4" tools. Remember to order an adapter for the tools you will use.
Set screws can be purchased separately in different packages.
Adapters for different tools are available in 2 sizes. 1/2" or 5/8" adapter.
The tools are sold separately without a shaft for flexibility, meaning you only need to buy one shaft.
A: 1/2" means the tool needs a 1/2" adapter
A: 5/8" means the tool needs 5/8" adapter
