Also known simply as a roughing gouge. Recommended for the initial turning of uneven or square spindle stock to round. The shape of the spindle roughing gouge enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the tips of the side walls) well back from the workpiece.
Not designed for use on bowl grain projects.
GENERAL CARE
We recommend applying a light oil to the blades when not in use to keep them in perfect condition.

Been planning buying a Robert Sorby 32mm spindle roughing gouge for some time, to add to my Sorby turning toolset. Used it over the last month, busy making Christmas pieces, and wish I had bought one earlier. Very stable and useful tool for basic spindle roughing and also able to fine finish like a skew chisel. Prompt delivery and competitive price from Yandles.
