HSS vs Carbide?
Traditional wood turning chisels are made from HSS. It takes many many hours of practice to master the use of a HSS bowl gouge. It can also take a while to master sharpening of the chisels too. It is therefore not surprising that people who have learned those skills remain very loyal to HSS chisels.
Carbide scraper tools require no sharpening or steep learning curve to use them. New wood turners can pick up a carbide chisel and get instant, satisfying results. The surface finish is not as good, but with an extra couple of minutes sanding, carbide chisels achieve exactly the same results as HSS chisels. Carbide turning tools have been responsible for introducing many new people to the world of woodturning.
Replacement round carbide cutting tip. Carbide tips are not generally sharpened, just rotate them as the edge wears out and then replace the tip once all edges are used. Considerably lower cost than replacing the complete tool.
- Material: K10 Carbide 92HRC
- Shape: Round

“92HRC refers to a hardness measurement on the Rockwell C scale, specifically indicating a very high level of hardness, often associated with tungsten carbide. This high hardness is desirable in cutting tools because it translates to increased wear resistance and edge retention, meaning the tool can withstand more wear and maintain its sharpness for longer periods”
