1/2 Bowl Gouge – Unhandled

$ 69.00

Our 1/2″ bowl gouge features a parabolic flute and is made from Hardened and Nitrided M2 tool steel.  It is shipped sharp and ground with a double bevel.

Parabolic flutes give a great combination of strength and chip ejection.  They are amenable to finger nail (Ellsworth or Irish) grinds, conventional bowl gouge grinds and the “40/40” grind.  Also available handled.

    Extra Large Negative Rake Scraper – Unhandled

    $ 129.00

    Our extra large negative rake scraper is made of nitrided HSS and measures 1 3/8” across and 3/8" thick. The bottom edges are radiused so that you can use it at an angle for even more effective cutting. Sharpening just the bottom bevel maintains the nitriding on the top edge. Over time, you may eventually remove the top bevel and need to regrind it to maintain the negative rake. Just remember, there is premium heat treated HSS under the nitriding, so you will still have a superior tool.  The tang is rectangular, but will fit the 5/8" collet in either of our ER Collet based handle systems.

    1/2 Detail / Spindle Gouge – with 16″ Maple Handle

    $ 109.00
    The strong 1/2" spindle/detail gouge has a flute with shallow radius.  Shipped with a 45 degree grind, many turners sharpen these types of gouges to a sharper angle, and sometime add a secondary bevel. Many turners who are primarily bowl turners find these much friendlier for spindle turning than using a skew.  The handle is hard maple with a stainless steel ferrule.

    Small Detail Skew – Handled

    $ 99.00
    Our small skew is made of M2 and measures 1/2” by 1/4". The edge is beveled 20 degrees and has been hollow ground on an 8” diameter wheel before honing to a razor sharp edge.  The cutting edge of the gouge has been ground to a gentle 3/4” radius.  We consulted with noted turner Matt Monaco on the profile of this grind.  The radius of the profile has a small return at the top, adding versatility for cutting beads and adding details. The lower edges of the gouge have a generous radius to help rolling the gouge to make beads and coves.  The top edges also have a small radius.  The premium hard maple handle has a durable polyurethane finish and stainless steel ferrule.
