This is where Jerry Glaser raises the performance level and cements his reputation as a visionary. He is the only toolmaker in the world to understand and use the properties of CPM15V in a woodturning tool.

This superb material is intended for applications requiring exceptional wear resistance. It has more vanadium carbides in its composite than CPM10V and provides more wear resistance and longer tool life. CPM15V also offers an alternative to solid carbide where carbide fails by fracture or where intricate tool design makes carbide difficult or risky to fabricate. Due to it’s 15% vanadium content CPM15V will outwear CPM10V.

In 1966 Jerry was immediately famous for devising the proper flute angles, proper mass and stability” for most demanding turning operations. The flute shapes of our tools are precision ground using state of the art CNC Grinding Machines. Then, they are hardened and cryogenically tempered (Jerry has been using Cryogenics since 1995 (read about Glaser Cryogenic Treatments here) and subjected to our proprietary “Surface Compacting Technology”.  The process creates a “micro burr” surface which proves to be “extremely effective” on the cutting edge of the tool.

• Made out of CPM15V (exceptionally wear resistant)
• Perfect “Glaser Profile” (makes them extremely powerful when removing material)
• Tool is rigid and able to resist vibration
• CNC Precision Ground flute shapes
• Cryogenically tempered to Glaser proprietary specifications established since 1995
• Subjected to proprietary “Surface Compacting Technology” SCT which enhances the cutting edge of the tool
• Assembled on a 16″ Glaser Handle
