Serious Toolworks Spindle Gouge

At the heart of a Serious tool is tough, A2 tool steel, with a RC hardness of 62. These tools will more likely survive a dramatic catch, where lesser tools would fail. Not only durable in cross-section, the abrasion resistance properties of A2 steel will let you work longer between sharpening sessions, maintaining a sharp edge even when cutting hardwoods at high speeds. The tools are finished with a black-oxide coating to help protect them from surface oxidation in high moisture environments. Serious Tools are sold unhandled. Install them in your own handle or use the Serious Toolworks Precision Camlock Handle for holding 3/4" diameter gouges. Optional collets let you use the Camlock handle with the 1/2" & 3/8" diameter gouges.

Gouges are double-ended, offer a minimum useable length of at least 10" & with the tip-to-tip fluting a turner can grind 2 different profiles on the same gouge.
