Best Lee Valley Crown Pro PM Turning Tools

These premium turning tools are made by Crown in Sheffield, England, from a proprietary PM (powder metallurgy) steel, an advanced alloy that holds an edge up to three times longer than M2 high-speed steel. It is remarkably easy to sharpen despite its exceptional wear resistance, so you can spend more time at the lathe and less at the grinder.

These tools have 6 1/4″ to 7″ long blades and 12 1/2″ black lacquered ash handles, except for the bowl gouges and Ellsworth gouge, which have 10″ blades and 16″ handles for leverage. Each is hardened to Rc64-68 and carries a lifetime guarantee.
