Max blade lifetime for you on the Ross gouger is at 200 pcs of cane gouged per year, is 1000 pieces in 5 years. Min is 100 pcs/yr cane gouged is 300 in 3 years. Is this about right ?
Others are quoting 4000-8000 for other gougers.....or is it an over-estimation of the blade lifetime ?
Robin:
Remember, as a novice gouger, before you got your clunker or even began gouging, werent you also looking for a machine simple enough and consistently gave you the results that you were looking for ? Without having to tinker with the gouger until you got the results you wanted first ?
Huboboe:
I looked at your website for your gouger. You probably make an oboist's "dream" gouger, one that does everything that one can ask for and more. And you are really in the know and very detailed as to the specifics of a dream machine. I notice you are in SJ, off of 17 or 85, do you offer a live demo, if someone is willing to comeby to see you ? BTW, what do you estimate your blade lifetime to be ?
This thread really rocks. In a matter of about 3 days, this has been a very active thread ! I have learnt a lot from those who are very familiar with the topic. Thx for the comments and inputs to everyone who shared here.
