Spindle Gouge's are detailing tools used on between-centre work, where the grain is running parallel to the lathe bed. Spindle gouges are used to create coves, beads and other profiles on goblets, vases, bed posts, candle sticks and other spindle projects.

Roughing Gouges are recommended for the initial turning of uneven or square spindle stock to round. The shape of the spindle roughing gouge enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the tips of the side walls) well back from the workpiece. Not designed for use on bowl grain projects.

Negative Rake Scraper or Hardwood Scraper, it was originally designed to tackle hardwoods when producing musical instruments. However, the tool is equally at home on all types of wood and is as effective on spindle work as it is on bowls - the action of the negative rake on the bevel reducing the risk of grain tear-out and leaving a polished surface that requires little or no sanding.
