Found this in a box of assorted scrap, but curiosity got the better of me! It LOOKS like someone fashioned a slot screwdriver bit out of an old 5/16" drill bit, but the grind looks like it was done by a machine, very neat and even. What REALLY caught my attention was the 5/16" SQUARE hole dead center in the shaft, and about 5/16" deep! The whole thing is 3 1/16" long. Any ideas? There is a diamond on the shank with "WILT" in it, and a "/16", apparently the "5" above it was worn off.

I probably should know this, but I don't, so here goes. Assume that I am out "yard-saling", and I come across a gouge. How do I tell if it is a spindle gouge or a bowl gouge? Are the differences in the flutes, the grind, the shape of the point or business end? Does the gouge start out as a generic gouge, and then gets assigned it's identity based on the grind? Maybe more to the point, to save everyone typing their fingers off, is there an accepted resource, such as a book or DVD, that would give me this information? I don't have a specific gouge in mind that I am trying to identify, this is just for general information for now. Thanks.
