{"product_id":"sorby-excelsior-roughing-gouge-3-4-in","title":"Sorby Excelsior Roughing Gouge, 3\/4 in.","description":"Sorby Excelsior Roughing Gouge, 3\/4 in. is a premium woodturning tool designed for connoisseur woodturners and those working with hard woods. This 3\/4\" gold roughing gouge features an extra-heavy blade enhanced with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, which dramatically improves edge holding ability and tool longevity. The gouge is ideal for bringing square or unevenly shaped stock to round before detail turning, with a shape that keeps the wings safely away from the workpiece. It boasts a 12\" ash handle and an overall length of 19\", paired with a High Speed Steel (HSS) blade for durability and performance. The TiN coating not only outperforms the hardest wearing steel tools and tungsten carbide but also reduces friction between metal and wood, making it especially effective when working with hard or knotted woods. This combination allows for easy sharpening and ensures the tool lasts up to four times longer than standard turning tools, helping you spend more time turning and less time sharpening.\n\nModel Number: B843G193","brand":"Robert Sorby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631931904163,"sku":"88383","price":114.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/2469\/7763\/files\/2587f6352eabfdcb447505fb02af87f130b37273_88383_1_H.png?v=1775856922","url":"https:\/\/www.hartvillehardware.com\/products\/sorby-excelsior-roughing-gouge-3-4-in","provider":"Hartville Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
