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. --

Don't buy this gouge unless you are looking for one that holds a sharp edge almost forever, has a really polished smooth flute that leaves an extremely clean cut or one that is very easy to control. This is the 5th half inch spindle gouge I've bought, first one from D-Way, and I can't believe the difference. It won't be my last from D-Way. I'm very favorably impressed with it.

Learned to turn a number of years ago on spindle gouges and even use them on bowls (no shame). Tool arrived sharp and maintains an excellent edge. Bought the 1/2" and the 3/8" at the same time. Highly recommend D-Way tools.

I purchased a couple gouges with handles and am so pleased with them I ordered a 1/2" spindle gouge with handle. Just like the others, it was ready to go out of the box. Customer service was great. Dave's tools come sharp and stay that way for quite awhile. A few swipes with a diamond hone and they are back ready to go.
Thanks Dave and Company!

I ordered the 1/2" gouge after using the 3/8" gouge for several months and love this one as well. I made some 30 Xmas ornaments using both gouges and am very pleased with how they handle. I really like taking the tool out of the handle to sharpen which is a big selling point for D-Way tools for me.

I love this tool for detail work. I'm primarily a bowl turner, but use the spindle gouge for beads and coves on the rim. I just wish it was made a little longer - like the bowl gouges - but the quality of the tool is fantastic.

D-Way tools are some of the finest made! The quality of the steel, the finish and the service are second to none. I recommend D-Way tools to anyone looking to buy a high quality turning tool.
