A must in the tool kit of every bowl turner. Milled from round bar, giving both mass and stability. These tools are ideal for making bowls. They can produce either massive profiling cuts or deligate as neccessary.

Now available with Fingernail Profile grind. Increased flexibility allows for 'pull' cuts - avoiding catching lathe bed. Greater cutting tip area can be used for heavy profiling cuts and fine, delicate shearing cuts. Easily maintained and sharpened using the Robert Sorby Sharpening System.

These are detailing tools used on between-centre work, where the grain is running parallel to the bed bars.They are used to create coves, beads and other profiles on goblets, vases and egg cups.

Ideal for detailing on spindle work. Having the wing tips ground back reduces the danger of them catching when working in confined areas.

Originating from Europe, these tools have gained a reputation for their supurb handling qualities on spindle work. Being a forged construction, they have an even wall thickness, thereby increasing the finesse without compromising the strength.

Apart from the length of the blade, the tools are identical to the standard strength gouges. The increased length of the blades allows the turner a further reach into the workpiece.

Recommended for the initial turning of un even of square stock to round. The shape of the roughing-out gouge enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the name given to the tips of the side walls) well back from the workpiece. Roughing gouges must not be used on bowl projects.

Designed specifically for end grain hollowing. The dual bevels allow for hollowing of internal curved surfaces and flat bottomed vessels. These tools produce an unrivalled surface finish on end grain. Ideal for goblets and egg cups. Comes complete with full instructions.
