1/2" SPINDLE GOUGE

The Serious spindle gouge features a shallow open U shaped flute. These tools also ship with a simple profile without a cutting edge. The most common usage for this tool is spindle or long grain turning, where the wood grain is spinning parallel to the lathe bed ways. A common spindle turning would be a table leg. The second type of application is to grind a long bevel on the spindle gouge and use it for detail work like beads and coves on face grain turnings. The Serious 1/2" and 3/8" spindle gouges are very versatile and useful lathe tools.
