Crown Cryo Bedan Tool, 3/8 in. is a high-performance turning tool designed for precision and durability. This 3/8" Bedan Tool features a cryogenically treated blade, a process that enhances the metal's crystalline structure to significantly improve wear resistance and edge retention. The tool is similar to a beading and parting tool but includes a relieved side bevel, allowing it to plunge cut into boxes and bowls with a greatly reduced risk of binding. It comes with a stained black ash handle approximately 10 inches long, and the overall length of the tool is about 16-1/2 inches. Crafted in England, this tool benefits from Crown’s expertise in cryogenic treatment technology, which delivers longer tool life and a superior feel during use, making it an excellent choice for woodturners seeking precision and reliability.
