Hamlet Craft Tools

Hamlet Craft Tools makes high quality woodturning tools in Sheffield, England.  Their lathe chisels and gouges are forged from high speed steel and cryogenically treated for excellent edge retention, giving woodturners confidence to create smooth, detailed pieces.

What makes Hamlet woodturning tools stand out?

Hamlet Craft Tools are made in Sheffield, UK, a city with centuries of hand tool heritage. Now part of Henry Taylor Tools, Hamlet continues the tradition of forging tools from M2 high-speed steel, offering professional-level edge retention and precision at very competitive prices. The name “Hamlet” reflects their roots in the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, where original toolmakers operated.

Are Hamlet tools good value compared to other brands?

Yes. Hamlet tools are frequently praised in woodworking communities as offering quality comparable to Robert Sorby or Crown at a lower price point. One user remarked:

“Hamlet woodturning tools are rated as high quality, for a reasonable price, especially in the European market.”
Another noted:
“I consider them on par with Sorby and Crown.”

What tool types and kits does Hamlet offer?

Hamlet offers a robust but curated selection of woodturning tools including roughing gouges, spindle gouges, skew chisels, scrapers, and parting tools, all forged in M2 steel with standard 10″ beech handles. They also offer the "Big & Little Brother" system, modular handles, and boxed tool sets like the 5‑piece, 6‑piece, and 8‑piece kits—great for both beginners and skilled turners.
