 Re: Single and double radius gouging

Hi, Cooper: In my naivety, I'm assuming a 45º angle grind on the blade and the blade mounted at 45º on the gouger, yielding a circular profile on the cane. I understand, though, as the grind angle becomes shallower, the blade becomes more elliptical; the nose elongates and narrows and the cut becomes increasingly u shaped.

If this is what your gouge looks like, then, for an offset 'center' thickness of .60, how wide is the final cut if you don't turn the cane but gouge just one of the two radii to completion? (And what IS the angle of your grind?)

There may not be an obvious magic number, but if we can measure what works for you, maybe we can back engineer a starting place from which to make small changes by way of experimenting.

As you said in your summary, the important thing is finding the ideal combination of grind angle and radius. What's a middle of the road, ballpark combo in your experience?
