I want a new bowl gouge

[CHJ]

I have a spare ISO backplate that fits my small 9X20 metal lathe that gets used occasionally to fit my ISO wood chucks for those jobs more at home and simply easier to do that way.

Frustratingly the 9X20 can't go down to my wood lathe 6TPI without getting another 80 tooth gear and then it would have to be a hand driven cut because of the gearing loads so turning spare spindle noses to suit the wood chucks is not really worth the hassle.

Back to my original theme - is the Hamlet / Axminster premium bowl gouge deep fluted?

It is frustrating that they don't give a head on view of flute, a case of style layout rather than technical detail marketing.

The 'review' would seem to suggest it's a reasonably deep profile.
