Robust Turner's Edge 5/8" Bowl Gouge
Features:
Flute Width: 1/2" | Bar Stock: 5/8"
Flute Length: 7 1/2" | Overall Length: 11 1/2"
Made from Nitrided M2 High Speed Steel
Longer edge holding and smoother chip ejection from the polished parabolic flute
After machining, the tools are heat treated to 64 Rockwell C. The hardened tools then go through a nitriding process, increasing cutting edge hardness to 1880 Vickers (75+ Rockwell C). This treatment is diffused into the metal and will not flake, peel or chip
Nitriding reduces surface friction, improves wear resistance and significantly enhances edge holding
Nitriding is frequently used on high speed steel cutting tools used for machining metals. Not a coating or plating, Nitriding describes a treatment wherein carbon and nitrogen are added to the base metal and form a diffused zone within the surface of the tool. This zone is up to .002″ deep
Nitriding reduces surface friction, improves wear resistance and significantly enhances edge holding
Robust's bowl gouges feature a parabolic flute. Parabolic flutes optimize three things: 1) having a good size flute for chip ejection, 2) leaving enough metal in the gouge for good strength and 3) sharpenability for both fingernail and conventional grinds
All of the gouges are sold without handles
