I only have 1/2 inch gouges, a bowl gouge with a regular.
Yes, the bevel angle.
Although, a bowl gouge will certainly remove wood faster than a scraper.
Of the tool, as is the speed at which wood is removed .

Enjoyed this discussion
I really have to say that the scraper is looking very attractive. I was recently struggling with a very steep sided bowl. I kept playing with bevel angle on my 5/8" Sorby gouge. Improved the situation a bit, but I abandoned the...

I purchased the 1/2" bowl gouge and I'm not sure if I keep the geometry of the way it was shipped to me if this is okay. From what I here I want a fingernail grind, but I"m not sure if the way it was sharpened would count as this.

I made this video to show that there are better and safer alternatives to roughing bowls and spindles than the Roughing gouge.
