Hautbois Français:
I bought the old clunker because the opportunity arose to buy for $100 what was being sold on average at $1500. As a music student, you understand the attraction.

Yes indeed, I would have preferred a machine that just worked! In fact, I still do prefer a machine that will just work and I could compensate with shaping, binding and scraping whatever I may dislike in the gouge. My beaten-up old whatever it is has been a learning experience out of necessity.

Be careful with estimates on blade life. 2 factors come into play: hardness of the metal used for the blade and the condition the user considers needing sharpening. In the end, only you can tell that. What I like about "standard" gougers is you CAN sharpen the blade. If you get a machine where the blade comes off and goes back on with minimal impact on the calibration, then there is no worry.

The harder the metal, the longer the life, yes, but the harder it is to hone (fine sharpening). I still think the harder the better; same for scraping knives.

Of course, I cannot over emphasize proper stones: Arkansas hard (the one that looks like milky marble, not the ones that look like stones) or very fine ceramic.
