1. What a difference

   Posted by Mitch on Aug 28th 2023

   This tool has improved my bowl turning immensely, with the handle and screw knob it is a very versatile set. Holds an edge so I can turn more bowls. At a decent price also.

   Got this from my wife for Christmas and I love it. It is very sharp and cuts amazingly fast. I get smooth cuts at the bottom of my bowls.

4. 1/2" & 3/8" Bowl Gouge - bottom feeder

   Posted by SR Sokol on Aug 16th 2020

   I bought both sizes to used on various projects and they both work exceptionally well. Highest quality - both holds and sharpens up to a razor fine edge. I have several of D-Way Tools and They have always exceeded my expectations.

5. Great product and service!

   The finish of the tools is excellent and the steel holds an edge for a very long time. I've been systematically buying the D-Way tools to replace my cheap tools that I have been using to learn sharpening and which grinds I prefer. I am thrilled with my new 3/8", 1/2", AND 5/8" bottom feeder gouges. They are not just for "bottom feeding" and leave an excellent finish. Delivery was prompt as well. This has been the case for the multiple purchases that I have made over the years.

6. 1/2" bottom feeder finishing gouge

   Posted by John D from NH on Mar 19th 2019

   This gouge excels at making the finish cuts on the exterior and interior of open bowls and is my preferred tool over a scraper to achieve the final cut finish. I reground a larger secondary bevel to make it more nimble but kept the 50 degree nose angle. Taking a light cut while floating the bevel leaves a refined surface that is ready for sanding. In my opinion the M42 steel and the by design rigidity of the short flute makes this gouge the best finish tool available. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants the best.

   Beautifully made gouge with high quality steel, great workmanship and nicely shaped gouge. It is really sharp; now if I can just replicate that shape and edge after some use.

10. 1/2"" bottom feeder is an excellent tool.

    Posted by John from NH on Apr 27th 2018

    The bottom feeder arrived with a pre ground 50 degree bevel which was reground to about 70 degrees to reach deep into he calabash bowls I frequently make. Also replaced my general use 1/2" and 5/8" bowl gouges with DWays because they are superior to the English industry standard M2 tools I have been using for about 30 years. Like the 6" flute length and shape, and they take and hold a very fine edge when ground on Dave's CBN wheels. Will only buy DWay turning tools in the future.
