The Rivolver range of HSS woodturning tools are truly in a class of their own. By incorporating M42 Super HSS, and then cryogenically treating the steel by lowering the temperatures on the steel to again improve toughness, the Rivolver M42HSS Cryo tools will allow a for very sharp cutting edge that also holds it’s sharpness much longer than any other standard HSS steel chisel. The Rivolver 3/16” parting tool comes with a 320mm (12.6") European Beech hardwood handle and a 170mm (6.7") length chisel for a very comfortable overall length of 490mm (19.25"). Used to part the finished project off from the waste material, the parallel sides make for a rigid tool that handles well. The 3/16" tool reduces the amount of waste, vital if the timber is an expensive, exotic one. It also makes for a fine detailing tool, e.g. beads and fillets.
