Cutting
abrasive woods at high speed concentrates a
lot of wear at one small spot on the tool's cutting
edge, which can get very hot. In these conditions carbon steel
tools soften and dull very quickly and require repeated
grinding to maintain a sharp edge. High Speed
Steels which are more expensive have been developed
over many years for cutting tools that must resist abrasion
and the high edge temperatures caused by friction. A
sharpened edge on a high speed steel turning tool will
last many times longer than its equivalent in carbon
steel, thus far less time is wasted in regrinding and
the life of the tool is prolonged. Also the heat resistant
nature of high speed steel reduces the danger of accidentally
drawing the temper of the steel during grinding.
In 1978 Henry Taylor Tools was the market leader in
the UK as the first Company to make turning tools
from High Speed Steel. Henry Taylor Tools manufacture
an extensive range of 170 High Speed steel turning tools
which are available in various shapes and sizes - Beech handles also available.
