Thompson Bowl Gouge

[Bernie Weishapl]

I have the 1/2" and 5/8" V gouges. I use the 5/8" to rough the bowl and the 1/2" to finish with. They don't seem to clog up like the other brand U shapes I have.

Hi John,
I also use the Thompson tools and as my existing tools need replacement, I am purchasing the Thompson’s as replacements. They seem to last longer than others that I have used. I actually like the ‘U’ shaped better, they seem to clog less with chips.

Good luck with your choice, either way you should be happy.
