Welcome to Thompson lathe Tools
Made by a woodturner for woodturners!

These are the highest quality turning tools on the market today, each one handcrafted in a 13 step process.
Please forgive the sold out sign next to some tools, they will be restocked. To keep the quality high and price low it will continue like it is... each handcrafted by me... one at a time.

WHAT'S NEW!
Another batch of tools is done, there are only a few 1-1/4 SRG with a 3/4 inch shank.

We now have a new line of SIGNATURE TURNING TOOLS for the following professionals... Use the same tools they do! Contact them from the links page for details.
