Default Rounding Question

I take it you've never had a gouge "catch" in a knot?


Yes. I snapped the end of the tool off once, too. But the toolrest
absorbed the shock, not my body.

Why bother? Rather than going thru that, I'd just knock off the
edges with a saw.


Well, at 3000 RPM and a 1.25" roughing gouge, I can round a square
blank faster than I can set up the saw.
