I use the 5/8 on my midsized lathe to rough twice turned bowls. It is a beast. It also pulls very clean cuts, I am extremely pleased with this chisel

This tool is a very good quailty tool. Holds a edge better than regular HSS steel. Long tool for extra sharping. Recommend getting it. The only regret you will have is I wish I have got one sooner.

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.

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!

Like the handle and grind on the tool. Steel stays sharp and easy to sharpen.
