#8 and #9 Sweep Gouges
The Pfeil gouge numbering system is designed to sort the degree of curvature of the tool. #1 indicates a fully flat tool – a chisel or skew. #2 is slightly rounded, and the degree of curvature increases up to #11, which is almost a full “U” shaped. Higher numbers refer to “V” shaped tools and some specialty tools.
