All 1/2" Bowl Gouge - Fingernail Grind flutes are individually inspected and hand polished to remove all machine marks. This extra step assures the sharpest cutting edge possible. They are shipped sharp.
I use the Finger Nail Ground Bowl Gouges for all of my roughing out, smaller pieces smaller gouge, larger pieces larger gouge. It is also very usefull when you roll it on the side and used as a sheer scraper, is also excellent for removing small tool marks and finess long curve.

This is my 3rd tool from d-way tools. It is the "Go to" tool for most of my turnings.

This is my second 1/2" bowl gouge from D-Way, and I've owned gouges from Thompson, Sorby, Crown, and Penn State. None work as well or stay sharp longer than my D-Way gouges. I've also purchased several other tools from them, all are superior. Forget the other guys, just buy from D-Way. Excellent service too.

My first real bowl gouge so can't compare, but it performs smoothly and stays really sharp. I also bought the 1/2" spindle gouge on the same date and I've been making mounds of shavings doing Christmas market items. What a joy to turn wood and not constantly going to the grinder to sharpen. This is one really SUPER tool. From this experience, I'll only be buying to D-Way tools to replace my other worn out tools. SUPER SERVICE and speed of shipping. Big Thanks to D-way tools for making my hobby more fun.

I have several D-way tools and will continue to support D-way tools with my future purchases .
Their customer service is outstanding , just can’t say enough about D-way tools to shed light on them as well as should be .
Simply great tools and great service beyond the transaction.

Shipped sharp and worked well. Edge stays sharp longer than any other HSS I’ve used before.

I turn hundreds of bowls per year. I use this particular type gouge as a finisher. Usually I use them on rough turned bowls after drying.

Like all the D-Way tools I own, this one is a fine tool. Sharp out of the box and beautifully finished. Nobody ships faster than Cindy either.

The tool was well packaged, shipped promptly, and arrived in perfect condition. I love the polished flute and everything about the tool, really. Excellent edge, came perfectly sharp, and ready to use. Stays sharp a very long time. Highly recommend! Absolutely one of the best companies to buy woodturning tools from. Also picked up the bottom bowl gouge and 1-5/16" Negative Rake Scraper, as well. I'll be buying more tools from D-Way again very soon.
