So, at this point, after all the discussions, if I were to buy a gouging machine from anywhere in the world, huboboe's machine is the one I'd get without any hesitation.
All my measuring equipment is Mitutoyo, but that doesn't matter: international standards are supposed to keep the big names in line. What to look for in a radius gage is that it gives you an arc of at least 45 degrees. Look at the pictures in the PDF of my blog, you'll understand.
Again, the PDF of my blog shows 2 kind of "dial-micrometers" (in reality, they are just comparators mounted on a base with different standard pins). I think you only need the vertical, in-line version, not the perpendicular version. A caliper is very useful, but not imperative.
