Incannel or outcannel gouge?

[pgrbff]

I have never carved but I am about to attempt to make myself an infill mitre plane.
One of the videos I saw used an incannel gouge to shape the wedge but from what I can see outcannel seems more common.
Can someone explain how they differ in their use?

In cannel are often called scribing gouges a common use and the bevel is inside. Out cannel is with the bevel on the outside( like a carving gouge) joiners gouges in cannel/out cannel are often quite chunky.

I'm aware of the physical differences I'm more interested in knowing when you might use one over the other.

One is like a carving chisel, the other like a paring chisel.

Incannel for paring?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Yes - the one with the long straight flat surface on the outside. It's for paring down inside curved pieces. The other is for "carving" hollows.

People often seem to get them mixed up (look at ebay etc.), this is in cannel -

"the one with the long straight flat surface on the outside"

I assume by this you are just referring to the bevel being on the inside rather than the outside? There is no actual flat?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Well, it's flat in one plane. Yes, as in the A.I. photo.
