Selecting Turning Tools

Lathe chisels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and usually fall into five major categories. See Figures 22–25for some examples.

Gouges: Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles. The rough gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with either a round or pointed nose.

Skew Chisels: A very versatile tool that can be used for planing, squaring, V-cutting, beading, and parting off. The skew chisel is flat, double-ground with one side higher than the other—usually at an angle of 20°–40°.

Scrapers: Typically used where access for other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, dou- ble-ground tool that comes in a variety of profiles (round nose, spear point, square nose, etc.) to match many dif- ferent contours.

Parting Tools: Used for sizing and cutting off work. This is a flat tool with a sharp pointed nose that may be single or double-ground.

Specialty Tools: These unique, special function tools aid in hollowing, bowl making, cutting profiles, etc.
