Lathe Tools

Roughing Gouge

This is primarily used to take your square timber down to round. Or, take away excess material to make a smaller diameter. This is a roughing tool, so the finish will not be the best.

Skew Chisel

Use a skew chisel for a variety of jobs. You can plane across your project giving it a smooth finish. It can also be used for vee cuts, a process turners use before they start beading.

Spindle Gouge

A great tool for making curves in your project. The flat sweep on the flute is used for detailing on spindle turning to create both beads and coves.

Round Nose Scraper

One of the easier tools to use and similar to the Spindle Gouge. Used to refine concave forms such as coves on spindle work, or light touches on the inside of bowls.

Bowl Gouge

The workhorse tool. They have a deep fluted design for cutting both sides of a bowl. You can shape the ground angle to suit a large variety of bowl forms.

Parting Tool

Another versatile tool. Either use to size diameter or part off a project.
