A Letter from Valarie (Jeanne)

Thank you for your interest in our gouging machine. Besides the ball bearings and the eccentric adjustments that you mentioned, one of the most important aspects of the machine is the guide on the carriage. It is machined with a slight incline away from the blade so that the guide is touching the cane only in front of the blade. It also wraps around the blade fairly closely. These two aspects of the design allow you gouge with a small amount of blade showing. On some other machines there is a wide gap between the blade and the guide which can cause the cane to rip on the sides as you try to move the blade off center.

As for the parallel bars, on some of the earlier machines there was a small gap between the end of the lower bar and the base. In my opinion, this did not jeopardize the consistent measurement of the gouge. In recent machines we have been able to minimize this space. The most critical aspect of the parallel bars is that the top edge of the upper bar be ground flat.
