Building My Work Shop #21: Cryo or PM Turning Tools???
Fellow turners, I am shopping for a 1/4” bowl gouge and am trying to choose between a “cryogenic” or a “Powdered Metallurgy” gouge. They are in the same price range and both say they last “up to 3 times longer than HSS”. Do any of you have any experience using the two of them? Is one really any better than the other? Oh & I am sure there is some sort of crazy controversial issue surrounding these materials and can’t wait to read about it. So please feel free to Rant away about how cryogenic is really alien material or PM is a FDA conspiracy. I love that kind of stuff!!!
