hollow, double-ground tool with a round nose, and
the detail gouge is a hollow, double-ground tool with
either a round or pointed nose.
•
Skew.Chisel

is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a
flat, double-ground tool that comes in a variety of
profiles (round nose, spear point, square nose, etc.)
to match many different contours.
•
Parting.Tools

This is a flat tool with a sharp pointed nose that may
be single- or double-ground.
