OPERATION
TURNING TOOLS
If possible, select only quality high-speed steel turning tools. High-speed steel tools hold an edge
and last longer than ordinary carbon steel. As one becomes proficient in turning, a variety of spe-
cialty tools for specific applications can be acquired. The following tools provide the basics for most
wood-turning projects.
1. Large roughing gouge - use this tool to
shape square or out-of-round spindle-turn-
ing stock into a cylinder. This can also be
used for creating shallow coves.
2. Skew chisel - the skew evens out high and
low spots to shape the cylinders. Vary the
angle at which the tip meets the workpiece
to change the aggressiveness of the cut.
This can also be used for cutting beads and
V-grooves.
3. Spindle gouge - the spindle gouge cuts
coves, beads and free-form contours. It can
also be used for producing shallow hollows
on faceplate turnings.
4. Parting tool - use the parting tool to form
grooves and tenons and to remove stock. It
can also be used for rolling small beads.
5. Bowl gouge - the bowl gouge cuts ex-
ternal and internal profiles on faceplate-
mounted stock, such as bowls and platters.
It can also be used for creating ultra smooth
cuts on bowls and spindles by using it as a
shearing scraper.
6. Round nose scraper - use this scraper
for non-agressive shaping of spindles and
bowls and to smooth out surfaces without
removing too much stock.
