Faithfull 16mm HSS Roughing Out Gouge | Woodturning Chisel

The Faithfull FSC® HSS Turning Chisel (16mm) is the ultimate workhorse for your woodturning projects. Specifically designed for roughing out, this gouge allows you to remove large volumes of timber quickly and efficiently, turning square blanks into round spindles with ease. Beyond bulk removal, its versatile profile makes it an excellent choice for planing spindle surfaces and shaping gentle, sweeping curves.

Key Features & Durability

• High-Speed Steel (HSS) Blade: Unlike standard carbon steel, our HSS blades are engineered to withstand the friction and heat of high-speed turning. They hold a razor-sharp edge significantly longer, meaning you spend more time at the lathe and less time at the sharpening stone.

• Precision Engineering: With a 16mm blade width and a total length of 410mm, this tool provides the leverage and stability needed for controlled, vibration-free cutting in both hardwoods and softwoods.

• Ergonomic Handling: Fitted with a full-sized, contoured wooden handle and a robust brass ferrule, this chisel is built for comfort during long sessions and long-term durability in the workshop.

• Sustainably Sourced: In commitment to the environment, this tool features FSC® 100% Certified Wood, ensuring your handles come from well-managed, sustainable forests.
