1/2" Detail Spindle Gouge - 9" long with shaft size .515
All our 1/2" Spindle Gouge flutes are individually inspected and hand polished to remove all machine marks. This extra step assures the sharpest cutting edge possible. We use the 1/2" Detail Spindle Gouge on spindle work for detail. When ground with a steep angle it will get into tighter places. They are shipped sharp.
-- Suggest using with our 8" or 12" handles. --
FAQ - Tormek setting for sharpening: Tormek jig settings for that spindle gouge are (approx.) "A-2-75." (Thanks to Miles M for providing this info.)

I own several D-Way tools. They are all quality. Have had some mishaps with metal on metal, tool rest impacts. I thought for sure 2 times a chip or chuck of metal would be missing on cutting edge. Nope. Using spindle gouge on bowls is new for me, am getting used to it and hope to do some spindle work with it. It is nice to support an American company based in the PNW.

I did not have a 1/2 inch spindle gouge in my tool rack so I researched and purchased this one.
This tool is very well made and comes sharp.
Very reasonably priced when compared to others in the same category.
The shipping with all my orders has been spot-on and very quick ( from one coast to the other about 2-3 days max.) Amazing!!!!
They are not kidding about the tool coming to you sharp and the flute highly polished ... WOW.
I have sharpened on a CBN wheel, a wet grind tormek system and 120 grit Norton stone, the harder steel takes a little longer on the tormek but is very doable with patience. All came out razor sharp.
All I can say is I am a repeat customer of D-way tools for a reason, high quality and durability.
Made In The USA!
As Arnold would say "I'll be back"

Very nice finish holds a good sharp edge for quite a while and shipping is very fast.

Received the 1/2 detail gouge, made my ash handle and went right to the lathe, impressed at how well and long it holds a cutting edge, will most definitely be back for future tooling

The finish is superb, the steel is fine grain that takes an edge very easily and lasts for ages. It cuts beautifully. Would not buy any other make now.

The reason I purchased these tools was because I am planning a couple of videos on lidded boxes. One goal is to learn the Richard Raffen 'back hollowing' cut. This also involves learning how to drill with the spindle detail gouges, which is a new skill for me. I am learning. Long way to go. Primary thing to learn is proper bevel angle and nose profile. I am more used to the 40/40 grind...... Long way to go yet...

This is my first purchase of an "exotic steel" tool and I can only kick myself in the butt for holding off for so long. I ordered this late Aug 11 and it was at my door Aug 14. Made own handle and been sending perfect shavings since the first cut. BEWARE, when D-Way says its tools are SHARP, believe it. Fresh out of the gate it was a true joy to use without any touch up. I'll be upgrading my other tools ONLY with D-way.
Don't wait, pull the trigger on a super sharp, well made American tool.

Hands down this cuts thru like butter. Smooth and efficient. Along with my other D-WAY TURNING TOOLS.
I’m very happy and please with the profits. Great job on these and I will be adding more to my collection. They come super sharp and when needed to slice up it’s an easy go and back at it.
Thank you

I've used D-Way Tools for a while after a friend of mine recommended them and absolutely love everything about them! Super high quality steel that holds and edge and stays sharp longer than any of my other tools in the shop. Highly recommend!
