Robert Sorby 888/1 – Modular Micro Roughing Gouge 1/2″ (13mm)

At 13mm this tool has 5mm more cutting edge than its micro tool equivalent adding to its ability to remove waste quickly and efficiently. Designed specifically for the Modular series of tools it is commonly used for the initial turning of uneven or square spindle stock to round. The shape of the roughing gouge enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the tips of the side walls) well back from the work piece. This tool is commonly used for preparing pen blanks.
