The Titanium Nitride coating increases performance and resistance to edge wear resulting in a tool that last an average of three times longer between sharpenings. Spend less time sharpening and more time turning. Easily sharpened in the same way as regular HSS tools using conventional techniques or with the Robert Sorby ProEdge system. 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 wth the wings (the tips of the side walls) well back from the workpiece. Not designed for use on bowl grain projects.
