Roughing Gouge – High Speed Steel

Description

This Sorby HSS 3/4″ roughing gouge will keep a sharpened edge about six times longer than carbon steel and resist “blued” softening from overheating during grinding or from heavy turning. The shape of the gouge enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the tips of the side walls) well back from the workpiece. Ash handles offer firm hand control during use and brass ferrules prevent wood splitting from tool pressure.
