Does anyone know where I can get a hold of a Graf gouging machine these days? I have been looking around and normally Covey sells used gouging machines but either the web-site is not being up-dated often enough or he doesn't have any to sell.
I like my Ross machine but lately I have been thinking that the gouge needs to be thinner on the sides, I have heard everything from a 6 point spread to a 10 point spread. The center of my gouge on the Ross machine is .58, and the shaped sides are .52-6 point spread. You cannot achieve a 10 point spread on a Ross machine because you cannot offset the blade. So you are essentially stuck with a 6 point spread in your gouge.
If anyone out there has had an experience with a different gouging machine I would love to hear about it.
