Gouges Unhandled - Robust Tools

Spindle Roughing Gouge – Unhandled

  • Spindle roughing gouge has a 45 degree grind and polished flute.
  • Like all of Robusts gouges, it is milled from solid High Speed Steel and give their proprietary Nitriding treatment.
  • Spindle roughing gouges are for turning spindles, not bowls!

Bowl Gouge – Unhandled

  • Bowl gouge features a parabolic flute and is made from nitrided high speed steel.
  • It is shipped sharp and ground with a double bevel.
  • Robust uses the American method of gouge measurement, which means the shank is 5/8″ diameter.
  • Parabolic flutes give a great combination of strength and chip ejection.
  • They are amenable to finger nail (Ellsworth or Irish) grinds, conventional bowl gouge grinds and the “40/40” grind.

Detail/Spindle Gouge – Unhandled

  • The spindle/detail gouge has a polished flute with a shallow radius.
  • Like all of Robusts gouges, it is made from Nitrided high speed steel.
  • Robust uses the American method of gouge measurement, which means the shank is 5/8″ diameter.
  • Shipped with a 45 degree grind, many turners sharpen these types of gouges to a sharper angle to get into tighter spots, and some add a secondary bevel for more relief.
  • Many turners who are primarily bowl turners find these much friendlier for spindle turning than using a skew.
