These sweep charts are close approximations of the various chisel and gouge sweeps. Chisels and Skew Chisels have straight cutting edges. Gouges have a curved cutting edge that is the arc of a circle. Veiner Gouges have a deep, U shaped cutting edge. A lower sweep number indicates a flatter, less curve tool. The higher the number the more deeply curved the cutting edge. V Tools are classified by the angle formed by the two wings of the V. Common V Tool angles are 45°, 60°, 75° and 100°. Charts are not to scale. Sizes in mm.
