Fingernail Bowl Gouges

Now the preference of many experienced turners the bowl gouge with fingernail profile gives greater opportunities. One of the big plusses is that this shape allows pull cuts as there is clearance over the lathe's bed bars. The greater cutting area gives the choice of even heavier wood removal or delicate profiling cuts.
Available with or without handle.
For sharpening we recommend the use of the Robert Sorby Fingernail Profiler (445 or 447).

High Performance Bowl Gouges

If you really want to spend much more time at the lathe and much less time at the bench grinder, then this collection of High Performance Bowl Gouges is ideal for you.
Their distinctive gold finish identifies the fact that these gouges have been specially treated with titanium nitride. This coating has already been proved to enhance the performance of router and drill bits. Now it is available on turning tools too. The cutting edge will outlast conventional M2 blades by at least three times - and much more on the tougher woods. The choice of many professional turners.
Sharpen in the conventional way as this will in no way adversely affect the coating.
Available handled and unhandled.
