This medium size deep fluted bowl gouge was designed after extensive testing and input from master turner John Jordan. It's purpose: fine finishing cuts inside and outside of bowls with some use on spindles. This particular tool comes in a double-ended configuration. This gives you 50% more usable tool, for 30% more cost. With the double ended tool, you have options to how you use the tool:- use a different grind on each end (i.e. two tools in one) or the same grind on each end for ½ as many trips to the grinder. The choice is yours. The steel used to make all tools in the MASTERCUT line is a CPM M4 HSS - a high-tech particle metal. Making our tools from CPM HSS is what truly sets them above the competition. This powder manufacturing process distributes the carbides uniformly throughout the steel. This process prevents the globular, irregular distribution of carbides and alloys as found in conventional HSS. Advantages of having such uniformity in the steel are: easier to sharpen, performs more consistently, &maintains its edge longer (up to 3 times longer). Note: The carbides in this steel are very fine. This means there are more of them on the cutting edge of the tool at all times compared to lower grade steel.
