The "fingernail" grind has been a popular edge with woodturners because it is easy to use and control, plus it's extremely versatile. The difficulty in creating this grind on standard turning tools, however, has made this popular profile virtually unavailable to hobbyists or beginning turners.
- These new fingernail gouges feature an easy to use, medium grind, with wing tips that have been ground back so the tool does not "catch" on the work piece.
- With these tools, pull and push cuts, delicate shearing cuts, or even full profile cuts can be made with ease.
- An added advantage of the medium grind is that it lends itself to easy modification, allowing you to create profiles specifically suited to your turning requirements.
- Overall length 16-1/2".
