Robert Sorby Turning Chisels at The Best Things
Robert Sorby Roughing-Out Gouges

Roughing gouges are heavy duty gouges designed to quickly convert square stock into round. Roughing-Out stock is the most demanding job you can ask of a turning chisel and it is here that the Robert Sorby quality will really shine through.

All of the tools offered here are made from Robert Sorby's M2 high-speed steel. The Robert Sorby Gold Series tools have a Titanium Nitride coating that increases the edge retention by approximately three times over that of standard models.


Robert Sorby Roughing-Out Gouges

Recommended for the initial turning of uneven or square spindle stock to round. If you are only getting one size, the 3/4" is our recommendation. Not designed for use on bowl grain projects.
