Product Description
5/8" Bowl Gouge - Fingernail Grind made with M42-HSS. Sold unhandled.
All our flutes are individually inspected and hand polished to remove all machine marks. This extra step assures the sharpest cutting edge possible. The Fingernail Grind bowl gouge is the go-to tool for roughing out - especially bowls, hollow forms, and platters - smaller pieces smaller gouge, larger pieces larger gouge. It is also very useful when you roll it on the side and used as a sheer scraper. Excellent for removing small tool marks and finessing long curves. They are shipped sharp.
- We use the American method of measurement for the stated size - diameter of the tool, not flute size.
- Suggest either 12" or 16" handle sizes. Depends on what size gouge you are working with, your project, and the size of your lathe.
To folks who want to do a 40/40 grind... Our Fingernail grind gouges are very versatile and can be easily modified. The swept back sides are already at 40 degrees. However, we still suggest trying the gouge as it comes and check out if it meets your needs as is. It is a tried and true profile and can be repeated using the appropriate sharpening jigs.
Tool bevel grinds are all about personal preference. We try to be in the middle range of grinds to keep the majority of people happy. Tool grinds are very easy to change and we feel people shouldn't be afraid to experiment with bevel angles. Happy to say that we have also added PARABOLIC and 10-V gouge selections to our lineup - we now have something for everybody. ~ Jimmie

Best Turning Tools Around!
Posted by Nathan C Zacharias on Mar 4th 2021
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?
Posted by Michael Huck on Feb 23rd 2021
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.

Just what I needed
Posted by Byrle Brunton on Sep 15th 2020
Been looking for a tool for the deep bowls I make. This fits the bill perfectly.
Smooth walls, smooth transition, smooth bottoms. You gotta love a smooth bottom!

Best woodturning tools available from D-Way Tools
Posted by Kirk Acosta on Jul 14th 2020
These are by far the very best bowl gouges that I have used. The quality of the gouges and handles are superior. They stay sharp longer and they plow through wet wood. Saving my pennies to buy the 3/4 in bowl gouge.

Great gouge
Posted by Dan G Shoemaker on Jun 30th 2020
This is a great gouge. Holds an edge for a very long time. Have only used it on a couple of bowls so far but it does the job it is intended to do.
Thanks, for the great product.

Comes Sharp, Stays Sharp
Posted by JAMES H. LUNSFORD on Jan 26th 2020
I am very pleased with this bowl gouge. I was very impressed with the fact that it came ready to use. It was very ground very well and was honed sharp as a razor. This tool holds an edge longer than any of my other bowl gouges. I made my own handle from walnut.

Holds an edge and then some
Posted by Victor Russelavage on Dec 16th 2019
Perfect fit and finish right out of the box, stays sharp, solid as a rock using the long handle. From light shearing cuts to aggressive wood hogging, spending less time sharpening and more time turning.
