ARBORTECH Ball Gouge™ 30mm

The ARBORTECH Ball Gouge™ is an innovative power carving attachment designed to create smooth hollows, concave surfaces and organic shapes with exceptional control. Featuring a 30mm spherical cutting head, it allows woodworkers to carve bowls, spoons, sculptures and decorative timber projects with remarkable precision while maintaining a natural flowing cutting action.

Unlike conventional carving burrs, the Ball Gouge™ uses a unique ring-shaped tungsten carbide cutting edge that is self-sharpening during use. The cutter can also be rotated or replaced, significantly extending its service life while maintaining consistent cutting performance. Its Anti-Grab Technology helps prevent the tool from digging into the timber, giving you greater confidence and smoother control throughout the carving process.

The perfectly balanced spherical design allows freehand carving in every direction, making it ideal for creating bowls, spoons, recessed areas, decorative textures and sculptural forms. It produces clean wood shavings instead of excessive dust, resulting in a cleaner workspace and better visibility while carving. Whether you're a professional wood sculptor or an enthusiastic hobbyist, the Ball Gouge™ offers outstanding versatility and precision for small to medium-sized woodworking projects.

💡 Professional Tip

The Ball Gouge™ performs best when held at approximately a 30–60° angle to the workpiece. Let the spherical cutter glide through the timber using light, controlled movements rather than applying excessive pressure.

For larger projects, remove the bulk of the material first using the ARBORTECH TURBOPlane™ or Industrial Woodcarver™, then use the Ball Gouge™ to create smooth hollows, flowing curves and refined internal shapes. Finish with the ARBORTECH Contour Random Sander™ and apply Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C for a premium natural finish.
