Types of Steel We Use in Our Wood Turning Tools
High Speed Steel (HSS)
Our High Speed Steel wood turning tools are designed for the beginning to intermediate woodturner but are also great for experienced turners that want a high quality tool at an affordable price.
They feature excellent edge-holding ability and will last 8x longer between sharpenings as compared to carbon steel.
M2 High Speed Steel
Wood turning tools made with M2 High Speed Steel offer superior toughness, wear-resistance and edge-holding compared to standard HSS. They will hold an edge longer, which means more turning and less sharpening!
We offer standard M2 HSS tools as well as cryogenically treated options for even greater performance.
All Hurricane M2 HSS Wood Turning Tools will ship pre-sharpened, so they can be used right out of the box!
M2 Cryo High Speed Steel
Hurricane offers cryogenically treated options within our M2 HSS line of wood turning tools.
All Hurricane Cryo Tools are triple-temper heat treated before being cryogenically frozen to provide each tool with superior edge-holding ability.
The process of cryogenically treating wood turning tools all increases wear-resistance by 3X vs. non-cryogenically treated tools!
M42 Cryo High Speed Steel
M42 High Speed Steel is a step up from M2. It is the highest quality wood turning tool that we offer and is ideal for seasoned wood turners and professionals.
M42 is a premium cobalt high speed steel with superior hardness, wear resistance and edge-holding ability. As a premium option, all of our M42 Steel tools are cryogenically treated.
The cutting edges on wood turning tools made from M42 high speed steel stay sharp and hard in heavy-duty and high production cutting applications such as turning wood on a lathe.

These are left and right sided 1-1/2 inch curve scrapers for wood turning. The quality is as good as others costing a lot more. I’ve been using these scrapers for over nine years. I would highly recommend them.

I have used these on the inside of bowls and they work really good as long as you keep them sharp.

Arrived fast, as described, worked great, beefy enough to go deeper in a vessel while hanging over the rest, without any problem.

These are a great value for the money. I used them to remove tear out on a Walnut burl bowl. To get the best cut, you need to raise a burr on the edge. I used a "Veritas® Scraper Burnisher for Turners", I bought from another vender. Using a Sheer cut with the scraper cutting at an angle, and with a heavy burr, I got a supper fine finish. That need very little sanding.The down side is that they need sharpening frequently. But I'm retired, and in no rush. for the price they can't be beat.

My husband said he loves these. They were well worth the price. He expects they will last quite a long time.

Heafty. Took an edge easily (on Tormek grinder). Minimal use thus far, but no reason to believe these will be any different than my other Hurricane tools -- not the best tools around, but a very good value.
