The Thompson 1/2in bowl gouge is built for bigger work. When you're opening up a large blank, tackling a deep platter, or pushing through a dense piece of timber.

The full-radius U flute shears cleanly across the full width of the cut.

The 16.5mm shank is the largest in the Thompson bowl gouge range, which adds stiffness and reduces chatter on deeper cuts. It fits the Simon Hope handle system on

both grub screw and quick release handles. When a handle is bought with a 1/2" bowl gouge it will be 14" in length.

These are available to buy steel only or with a bespoke handle, just click the drop down menu when making your selection.

These handles can be personalised, you must put the name that you want on the handle in the blue box directly below the tool selection box.
