Robert Sorby · Spindle and roughing gouges
Robert Sorby 843H 3/4-inch spindle roughing gouge
Spindle roughing gouge
When to choose it
Use this wide U-profile to bring uneven spindle stock toward a cylinder before switching to a narrower edge for details. The 19-inch overall length includes a 12-inch handle and is worth checking against your bench space.
Sorby limits this gouge to spindle work and excludes bowl grain. If the workpiece is a side-grain bowl, choose a purpose-made bowl tool even if the spindle gouge looks broad enough for the cut.
