1/2" Sorby HSS bowl gouge -- this is equivalent to a 5/8" D-Way in size (Europeans measure the flute, not the bar). There's some light Sharpie on handle -- we had this in the Studio, but it didn't get used much since we've switched to tools with removeable handles. Currently sharpened at 55 degrees for roughing bowls efficiently. Needs to ship First Class due to length of the tool, from the West Coast. $75+shipping

Hi Jamie,
Is that the correct pic? Pic says 1/2".

You're correct, I saw the mm but not the "inch" label. I will say, though, that it's the same size as D-Way 5/8" -- I seem to remember that the Europeans use a different scale for how they mark their tools -- flute size vs. bar size. Confusing. I will change the title and put in verbiage that explains the size. Thanks.

Craig, I'm giving Chris first shot (having missed his request earlier). If we don't hear by Wednesday, I'll get in touch with you. Shipping is between $10.25 and $11.60 (retail ground vs. Priority Mail). It will be Friday before I can ship it, most likely.
