General description This is a 16mm roughing out gouge designed for woodturning. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it is suitable for working on both hard and soft woods. The tool maintains a sharp cutting edge longer than carbon steel alternatives, reducing the frequency of resharpening. It features a full-sized, contoured walnut wood handle for comfortable use and a brass ferrule for durability. Ideal for removing large amounts of timber quickly, it can also be used to plane the surface of spindle blanks and shape gentle curves.
