FS: Hannes Tool 1" Bowl Roughing Gouge - NEW

That flute is awfully short and there is no flat milled on the shaft. What sharpening jig would be effective without a flat to register against as the flute gets shorter? Would freehand sharpening be necessary?

You can freehand but Hannes also sells a jig that kind of replicates it. I have this gouge and don’t use it often but on the occasion when I want it at least I have it. I have several of his tools and do use them often. I believe Doug T made the tools to Hannes specifications. The handles are awesome!
I also have that tool and the addition of jig to use it with Hannes' sharpening system. For bowls it removes lots of wood fast!

Bill & Brian,
Does this fit in the standard Hannes jig or does it need a special one?
Thanks

I can’t remember if I used the Vector jig or not for the larger gouge. I think I did. Would go out to the shop and look but not home right now.

"Vector Fixture" for the Michelsen Grind | HannesTool.com
With these on your grinder you can perfectly replicate the Michelsen grind every time and replicate any other grind out there as well.

It has a 3/4" tang and fits into one of my Thompson handles, never cared a ton about Hannes handles, for me one lobe would have been great instead of three.
I love those handles. I can relax my grip a little more and it just stays locked into the position I want. Even better as the arthritis gets worse in my hands.

do these have grub screws or are the the typical glue your tool in.
These are the original glue in style, I have added set screws to some of these because the trip-lobe design is comfortable and offers a good grip. Just have accumulated an overabundance of tooling and need to reduce my collection !

I hate to ask dumb questions (regardless of how proficient I am at them), but your calipers are very interesting.
If I understand what I am looking at, the top measurement shows mm, this being over 12. The bottom measurement show 1/10ths of inch, this showing exact 5/10ths. But what is the dial measurement showing between 1-2? Thanks,
Edit: Google is our friend. Found a video on Amazon which explained it. Always a good day when I start learning something new.

I too have the Hannes BRG, but mine has a different rear portion. The top by the tang has two flat spots to kinda form a triangle. I can agree with others, it's magnificently fast at roughing a green blank. As far as sharpening, I take the Stewart Batty approach with platforms and 40/40. I sold off my vera grind and wolverine jigs.
