Carter and Son Toolworks 1-1/4″ Roughing Gouge

What makes a 5-star 1-1/4” roughing gouge?

  • Less time at the grinder, cleaner cuts at the lathe. M42 means superior wear resistance and edge sharpness.
  • Put comfort and control first with aluminum handles.
  • Interchangeability, without compromising strength and tolerances.
  • Hand polished, sharpened and inspected.
  • 100% American materials and manufacturing. Backed by a lifetime guarantee and hassle-free returns.

The roughing gouge is a powerful tool. Versatile and strong due to its slightly deeper ‘u’ shape, the roughing gouge can turn through incredible amounts of material and is optimum for your next roughing project.

M42 high speed steel makes the cut

It’s no wonder M42 is favored across industries. A distinct cobalt additive bumps M42’s red hardness off the charts, ensuring impressive wear resistance. And M42’s tight molecular structure produces a finer, sharper edge.

For woodturners M42’s properties mean less time at the grinder and cleaner cuts at the lathe. Carter and Son was founded because we realized many tools are machined from subpar steel, leaving us (and you!) make far too many trips to the grinder. M42 is the optimal steel for turning wood. It holds a long-lasting razor edge and is quickly sharpened on a conventional grinder.

Roughing gouge
Great tool. Exactly what I was looking for and then some. Actually surprised at the skew cut like finish in dry Koa, and the edge retention. Only draw back is it can send some huge slivers in your direction if the wood is not solid, which mine often isn’t.

What a pleasure to use this roughing gouge.
The robust construction of this tool eliminates any possibility this gouge could snap in half! This heft and shape made cutting the square edges off the turning blank a real pleasant experience.

this one won't break
Already sharpened and the handle end is large - (1 or more diameter) won't break like my last one. Pricey but worth it.
