One of the tools that came with my new (to me) lathe is a very shallow
gouge. The gouge is .5" wide and .20" thick. The flute is .050" deep. I
haven't seen a gouge like this before and have no idea what it's used for.
I was screwing around (practicing) yesterday and tried to use it as a 'sort
of skew' while turning beads. It (I) chopped up a few and turned a few good
ones. Any info or ideas will be appreciated.
