Little Yeldham - the home of Superflute Bowl Gouges

superflute tipped bowl turning and hollowing tool

An innovative range of bowl gouge and hollowing tips which screw into a stout 16mm diameter shaft. Because the joint relies on a taper fitting, it is secure and strong. The taper resists loosening just like the taper fittings in your lathe spindle. There are no grub screws to clog with sawdust or catch on the toolrest - just use a spanner to replace the tip.

  • Solid 16mm (5/8") shank is stronger and more rigid than a conventional gouge and cannot snap. Tool length with standard handle 23"
  • Longer shafts and handles available
  • As easy to use and sharpen as a conventional gouge
  • Different styles and grinds available
  • You can use inovative tools like the angle gouge and the loop hollowing tool
  • You can regrind tips and experiment with different styles of grind at minimal cost

HSS Tips available . . . .  
A. Angle gouge tip. This bowl finishing tip makes it easy to make fine sweeping curves inside shallow or deep bowls, retaining full and effortless control over the delicate slicing cuts needed to get rid of torn grain. Superflute profile. £16.25
B. Superflute straight gouge tip. Works just like the traditional 5/8" superflute bowl gouge but the solid steel shank of the supertip system gives extra rigidity, weight, and vibration damping. Ground square across. £16.25
C. Loop tool holowing tip. Makes short and easy work of hollowing into end grain projects such as vases and hollow "vessels". Works in a similar way to ring and hook tools and will remove waste material with remarkable speed and efficiency. It has two cutting edges with different bevel angles to facilitate access to deep curves. Unlike ring tools it will work into a square corner and of course it is much stronger. Able to take cobweb fine finishing cuts leaving a finish which does not need sandpaper! £16.25
D. U section straight gouge, straight grind. £16.25
E. U section straight gouge, wings ground back. £16.25
F. 5/8" Superflute straight gouge. Irish grind £17.45
G. 5/8" Superflute angled gouge. Irish grind. It's a bit like having a HSS spoon on the end of the shaft. You can do an amazing variety of cuts with this tool after a bit of practice. If you enjoy using a Superflute gouge with an "Irish" ground back shape you will like this tool even better. It gives you all the benefits plus a free-cutting "sweet spot" at the tip for slicing cuts. £17.75
