Loading... Please wait...All 1/2" Bowl Gouge - Bottom Feeder flutes are individually inspected and hand polished to remove all machine marks. This extra step ensures the sharpest cutting edge possible. They are shipped sharp.
The Bottom Feeder grind is used on the inside of bowls especially for finish cuts, you can also use it on the outside of bowls from the foot to the top for all of your finishing cuts, if you learn to use this grind for finish cuts your sanding will be greatly reduced.
You can always sand a piece into submission, but it is not much fun. ~ Jimmie

Over time I have collected each tool offered. This you should know.
The Bad: I did have to go over each tool with the Tormek 4000 grit stone and used jigs to get a perfect edge. Now I regret spending so much on lesser products - including the finest carbide.
The good: When you slowly sharpen the finest steel, you feel the butter smooth grain in the thing. Dave's are consistently excellent.
Cutting very hard wood, you get very nice cuts and it is hard to dull the tool, very hard. Carbide offers nothing better than these.
Being able to take the cutter out of the handle for service or storage is very useful. The handles are very good and having the same profile for each tool leads to more consistency for detail work and a much shorter learning curve for those you introduce to the craft.
The range of tools offered truly cover any need or want. A 1/8 inch spindle to a large hollow form or platter.
In Summary, my son is about to get a ton of hand-me-downs and I now have the best set of tooling that is a total joy to use and keep sharp.
There is none better.

The bottom feeder is great! I purchased the 1/2 and it arrived super sharp. Within 30 minutes of hitting the mailbox, yep I was waiting, I used it to slice some nice shavings from a bowl. Great product and super in ice folks.
I will be buying more!

I put this tool to the test the very first day I received it. I'm a Woodturner in Maui and turn mostly Koa bowls, it's very hard to cut it clean when it's dry. This gouge left the surface like a mirror. It came super sharp and stayed sharp longer than other gouges I own. Very easy to sharpen too. 10 stars!!

Never disappointed in any of the various tool purchases I've made w/ D-Way over the years. Now replacing worn-out d-way w/ new d-way. Can't get a better product endorsement than satisfied return, return, return, customers!
