Info on Henry taylor gouge??

(1/3) > >>

simon:
Hi all,

I bought a used HT bowl gouge (5/8” HS1 as etched on tool).  Not seen these with pale handle like this before.  Is it a ‘vintage’ edition been at back of someone’s shed for eons?  If so it’s not seen much action as flute pretty much as new length. 

I’m assuming it’s standard HT HSS and not anything strange?   

Any one help?

Thanks,
Simon

Wood spinner:
I would say it's a carbon steel model

bodrighywood:
If it has HS1 stamped on it it will  not be carbon steel though the handle does look like an old style. It will be fine for use whichever it is. Carbon steel gets a super sharp edge but doesn't keep it. You should find this will keep its edge a lot longer.

Twisted Trees:
May have been bought handle-less and an old handle re-used. Done that a few times myself

simon:
I'm hoping not C-steel as I only have CBN grinding wheels and iirc they are ruined by c-steel as not hard enough.

No sure it's been re-handled as no signs of bashing + got the rubber end bung on it they I believe only comes with the HS1 gouge from HT.

Think just an old one ......?
