Its unique beam shape—⅛\" taller than wide—delivers superior rigidity with the agility of a smaller tool, allowing large-volume cuts with a clean finish. Shipped with Stuart Batty’s 40\/40™ grind, this gouge removes side grain with the wing while simultaneously slicing end grain at the tip for a dual-action cut unmatched by any other turning tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15V steel edge lasts up to 7x longer than M2 and up to 5x longer than M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized beam shape (⅛\" taller than wide) eliminates flex and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat sides enable skid-free entry cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeepest gouge flutes ever produced for large-volume finish cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChip deflection plate replaces traditional exit radius for maximum rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven-thickness flute wall for easier resharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped with Stuart Batty’s 40\/40™ grind—ready to use out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper Lock Bolster for fast, tool-free handle changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable tips for extended tool life and value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting edge is 15V tool steel, laminated to a heat-treated and hardened stainless steel substrate (45 HRC). This lamination process makes 15V viable for woodturning by bonding it to a tough stainless body that absorbs the long overhang demands of tool rest use. The hardened stainless steel bolster is reusable 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. Stuart Batty’s 40\/40™ grind requires freehand sharpening—a jig cannot accurately replicate the grind on elliptical flute profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SB Tools","offers":[{"title":"Gouge with 15V Tip","offer_id":48886662791392,"sku":"3-4-15V-LLP-GG-WTH","price":249.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15V Tip Only","offer_id":48886662824160,"sku":"3-4-15V-LLP-15V-TIP","price":119.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/2918\/9600\/files\/rs_w_1200_h_1200_451a8740-5bf9-4359-b28d-790bc0bac945.webp?v=1773083906","url":"https:\/\/stuartbattytools.com\/products\/xn-34-15v-elliptical-bowl-gouge-7o5s","provider":"SB Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
