The lamination process enables the use of 15V—which would otherwise be too brittle for the overhang demands of woodturning—by bonding it to a tough stainless body. The hardened stainless steel Taper Lock Bolster provides a secure, vibration-free blade-to-handle connection and can be reused indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSharpening Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, sharpen freehand on a grinding platform. Recommended abrasives include CBN wheels (180–320 grit), Norton SG Ceramic wheels, and 3M Trizact or Cubitron II belts. Maintain the 40° bevel angle and keep wings at 90° for optimal roughing performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SB Tools","offers":[{"title":"15V Blade \u0026 Bolster","offer_id":48886663708896,"sku":"1-3-4-LMN-15V-BLD","price":249.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/2918\/9600\/files\/1-3-4-LMN_1_0c7045f8-1489-475c-af3a-57b168dccb0e.jpg?v=1773104907","url":"https:\/\/stuartbattytools.com\/products\/xn-1-34-laminated-15v-spindle-roughing-gouge-0c41a","provider":"SB Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
