To simplify things, thicker means more open, which means lower pitch. The sides of the gouge are more sensitive to change, so it is beneficial (in my opinion) to use a double radius machine, so that the side thickness can be changed independent of the center measurement. The actual curve of the blade on a double radius machine, since it is not a "perfect" circle-cross-section, is very proprietary to the maker and can have miraculous or disastrous acoustical effects on the finished reed.
