Parkersburg, WV (PRWEB) August 21, 2014
Woodcraft has added a new line of quality woodturning tools from Carter and Son Toolworks that reflects a young woodturner’s quest for a tool that calls for significantly less sharpening.

“They put a lot of engineering in these tools,” Woodcraft solution manager Ben Bice stated. “The quality of the steel for one issue – the sharpness of the grind is remarkable and the edge retention is phenomenal. And three inches of the tool fits into the deal with, minimizing considerably of the typical vibration.”

Paul Carter, the “son” in Carter and Son, learned to turn wood at ten and became passionate about woodturning – but not the quantity of sharpening essential to sustain his tools. When his father, David Carter, a metallurgist with numerous years of engineering and manufacturing experience, explained that Paul’s turning tools were soft metal, the young turner began to envision a tool produced from a a lot more tough material.

With his father’s support, Paul decided to try M42 high-speed steel. The father-son team spent several years in item development – designing, testing, redesigning and retesting looking for “the greatest or absolutely nothing.” Eventually they settled on a mixture of solid M42 HSS and 10 percent cobalt that makes it possible for heat therapy to HRC68, which produces a razor-sharp, powerful tool. They added strong aircraft grade aluminum handles made to be comfy and powerful, as well as very easily and safely interchangeable – and Carter and Son Toolworks was born.

Valerie Carter, Paul’s sister, directs national sales and developed the vision for Carter and Son Toolworks. “Quality and precision are crucial principles in producing our tools,” Valerie said, “along with a dedication to the woodturners’ passion and consumer service that reflects that dedication.”

Today, the Seattle-primarily based business manufactures several woodturning tools as Paul and David continue to work on new products. What do the Carters want for their firm in the future? “Seeing woodturners appreciate woodturning to the max with our tools is our preferred aspect of the company. We just want to continue to grow Carter and Son and serve turners around the globe,” Valerie and Paul mentioned.

Bice mentioned Darin Lawrence, director of the Woodcraft Product Improvement Department, first met the Carters at the Seattle Woodcraft shop, which led to the young company’s attendance at the 2013 Woodcraft Vendor Trade Show. “I was impressed by their presentation and the tools they had at the time,” Bice mentioned. “We corresponded over the next several months, which resulted in Woodcraft adding Carter and Son Toolworks merchandise to our woodturning tool providing.”
