Re-grinding gouges
Jimbo wrote:
Hello all, I am new to woodturning and was wondering if it is possible to regrind a 1/2" spindle gouge to a bowl gouge or is the flute in the tool different? I have 2 spindle gouges of the same width and rather that purchasing a bowl gouge I could turn (no pun intended) one of them into what I need. I will probably be buying the oneway sharpening jigs to help me sharpen my tools in the future. Thanks, Jimbo The only way to make a spindle gouge into a bowl gouge is to reforge it. As you suspected, the flutes are different radius. Deb |
