Robust Gouges: 
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.
