I have been using the 1/2 inch D-Way bowl gouge and needed something larger. This one can really remove wood quickly. The larger diameter provides good control when making heavy cuts but can also make those fine, finishing cuts too. The steel stands up to hard wood like maple well. I'm pleased with its performance.

The 5/8” bowl gouge is a work horse. As with all D-Way tools , the sharpen easy and stay sharp longer.

Love this gouge. Hogs out wood quickly. Definitely will be purchasing other D-way Tools.

D-way is awesome to talk to if you have any questions; economical when you think about how long the tool will last; and you can replace the tool and reuse the handle. Hands down the best gouge in my (probably over large!) collection. I use a 5/8 gouge multiple hours a week, and I’m can’t recommend it enough!

I am enjoying this gouge, The steel holds an edge well and it is a very well formed grind.

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 an edge longer than any of my other turning tools. Highly recommend!

Why did I wait so long to get this gouge?
I used it right out of the box and it has become my go to gouge. What a difference from a 1/2” to 5/8” makes. It holds an edge longer than my 1/2” gouge and feels a lot more comfortable while hollowing a deeper bowl.
