Detailed product description of the Crown Ellsworth scales
The Crown Ellsworth bowl gouge is characterized by its special shape and unique Ellsworth grind, which enables efficient material removal and a smooth finish. The tool is made of high-quality HSS steel, which is known for its durability and sharpness. The overall length of 700 mm and the handle length of 430 mm ensure excellent balance and facilitate handling for all woodturning tasks. The stained beech wood handle not only provides a secure grip, but also a comfortable grip for long periods of work.
Handling and care of the bowl tube
To maximize the longevity and performance of your Crown Ellsworth bowl tube, we recommend sharpening the tool regularly and maintaining it carefully. To do this, use sharpening aids for fingernail grinds and follow the instructions for the correct grinding angle. Keep the bowl tube in a dry environment to prevent rust and clean the tool after each use, especially after turning wet wood.
Finish sanded, good processing of the inside and outside of the bowl thanks to the fingernail-shaped bevel.
Grinding Ellsworth shell tube:
Fingernail bevel for roughing cross grain, for many bowl shapes and pulling cuts. The back-ground flanks can hook if not held correctly, so this grind is suitable for advanced and more experienced woodturners.
Blade width and blade dimension of the tube explained
What does the double dimension of bowl gouges mean? Example bowl gouge 10/13: The larger number stands for the diameter of the steel (13 mm) and the smaller number for the distance from the cutting edge to the opposite outer edge (10 mm). The manufacturers of shell tubes always state the distance from the cutting edge to the opposite outer edge. Dealers specify either the distance or the outside diameter. We have decided to specify both dimensions.
