AndrewB Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 So far I can say that I'm entirely impressed with the Robert Sorby brand. The tool is about as long as the EWT carbides maybe a bit shorter how ever it was well worth the money I spent for the tool itself. I think I may be a new fan of HSS. Just need to acquire a couple more of the essential starters. But what I think I was impressed with is how much material that was hogged off in about 10 minutes or so. I started the fir log with the EWT rougher then the gouge came in and today I went for it. Its a bit rough trying to work out the exact angle to hold it at but I think I got the hang of it. So far this seems to be a winner. It did come to me pre sharpened I didn't have to sharpen it the first run but I probably will now that it's been used on medium wet wood but it still worked quite well. Seems that the speed has to be up quite a bit higher as well for them to work properly. FlGatorwood, Cal and lew 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyFN Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I bought the Robert Sorby 1/2” bowl gouge with the finger nail going and haven’t used the carbide tools very much since. It made me a fan of HSS. lew, Cal and FlGatorwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
