For years now I've used Dway bowl gouges with good success. I cut a lot of mesquite and, very recently, a large red oak (consignment). While I've been somewhat verbose about the M42 Dway, the big red oak made me rethink - I had a hard time going more than a few inches. Then I pulled out my old Glaser Hitec red-handle 3/4" and made progress.
What might be the difference between an M42 edge and an old Glaser V10? I don't find a huge difference when cutting mesquite - but when kerchunkin red oak, I think the Glaser's edge holds up better.
Also, is there a difference between the Glaser tools of old and the new? One difference for sure is price - but now that gouges last so much longer in these days of CBN, what the heck.
And lastly, what is the difference between V10 and V15? I know the answer is 5% but, from a user standpoint, does anyone out there have experience with both?
