Bodger 3/8" Bowl Gouge

Whether you are a beginning woodturner or a seasoned pro, our new Bodger turning tools offer a very affordable, high–quality alternative to British turning tools. Made from high–speed steel, these rugged tools are quite tough with a Rockwell hardness of Rc 60. We have found them to be ideal for use by students in our turning classes, and we guarantee they will ably serve the needs of any woodturner who wants exceptional performance at a very affordable cost.

In our tests, we found them equal in performance to today's premium British tools made of standard high–speed steel. All Bodger turning tools come with full–sized hardwood handles, metal ferrules and good edge geometry.

Our Bodger gouges are sized in the North American standard, and made in China to our exact specifications. The measurement listed is the width at the outside of the tool, not the width of the flute.
