為了您的安全Roughing Gouge已改名為Spindle Roughing Gouge SRG
在使用車床時通常最先使用粗鑿(Roughing gouge)來快速修整木材成一(細長型)圓棒形狀,再用其他刀具來車製想要的成品型狀,不管你用圓鑿,碗鑿,斜鑿等鑿刀來修飾您的作品,均能成功完成.
可是很多會使用車床的人都有一通病,一開始都用粗鑿來修整木材,甚至於他(她)在車製一個木碗或木盤時都用粗鑿來修整木材這會造成很大的危險而傷害到自己,美國車床協會(American Association of Woodturners AAW)早已通告將Roughing Gouge更名為Spindle Roughing Gouge,意指粗鑿(Roughing Gouge)只能將被車木材放至用於在頂針(Driver)與活動尾針(Live center)之間作spindel turning.
Spindle-roughing gouge
Until recently, spindle-roughing gouges were simply called roughing gouges. The name change/clarification came about because of the increasing number of woodturners who thought that a roughing gouge would be okay to use to rough out a bowl blank. Doing so caused numerous accidents when the small shanks of these large cross-sectioned tools snapped from the incredible force exerted by a rotating bowl blank.
For safety’s sake, a roughing gouge, more correctly called a spindle-roughing gouge (SRG), is used only for roughing out between-center spindle work where the grain of the wood runsparallel to the bed of the lathe.
