Hi Barry, Barry it depends

I would say it would be a good buy for a professional turner, I'm not,
but I bought one and use it, it is a very fine tool, keeps its edge a
bit longer and so if you count your time and life of the steel + you
don't pay for a handle it all ads up to make it worthwhile.
By the way mine is a 2308, and one ended, they are metric ,mine is 16 mm
that is 12 thou more than 5/8" and if you have a metal handle for a 5/8"
tool you are probably out of luck using that one.

hope this is some help to you

Have fun and take care

Does anyone here use Oneway's Mastercut gouges? Are they worth the price
(for instance, $99.95 for a double-ended 5/8", unhandled, at Woodcraft)? I
would appreciate an assessment from someone who actually uses them.
