Ashley Iles Pole Lathe Shallow Roughing Gouge 1-1/2" Reviews

4 Rating 1 Reviews

The shallow roughing gouge, as the name suggests, is used to bring the rough blank down to a smooth even cylinder.
The shallow gouge takes a broad light cut, it gets through material quickly and leaves a reasonably level surface - ideal for turning larger blanks.
When used canted over this tool is also capable of producing an extremely fine finish.

“This is a beautiful tool right down to the packaging. Nice wooden handle, lovely shape and form but certainly not ready to start turning with. This chisel came out of the package not even ready to hone. I'll have to go through all the steps of fine sharpening before I can even cut my finger with this tool. I would order it again but I wish they would have told me up front so if I didn't have the means to sharpen it I could have planned accordingly. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes but with a caution.”
