Gouges
$ 59.00 – $ 209.00
Sizing: We use the American method of measuring gouges. So, for instance, a 5/8″ gouge is made from slightly oversize 5/8″ diameter material with the shank turned to 5/8″.
Bowl Gouges: All feature polished parabolic flutes and are made from premium Nitrided high speed tool steel. They are 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. The tools are just as easy to grind as regular HSS, and sharpen well on conventional and CBN wheels.
Spindle/Detail Gouges: All have a radius flute that matches the diameter of the stock, and they are also made from premium high speed steel with our proprietary Nitriding treatment.
Flat Milled: All bowl gouges and spindle/detail gouges are flat milled on the top and you can use your sharpening jig over the full length of the tool.
Spindle Roughing Gouge: Our spindle roughing gouge is milled from solid 1 1/4″ diameter HSS and nitrided. The shank is turned to 5/8″ diameter.
Handles: All are available handled and unhandled. Handles are made from hard rock maple turned for us in Pennsylvania with a stainless steel ferrule. Our collet based handles also work very well with our gouges.
