When to choose it

A two-handle set helps when a design makes you move back and forth between jobs. Load a fine V into one handle and a larger U into the other. On a repeat pattern, it lets you return to the same two profiles across the block without opening a chuck for each change.

The six profiles include the #4 square gouge alongside the pointed V and rounded U cuts. Use the square shape when the design calls for a flatter-bottomed channel. The one-handle set suits a smaller kit if you switch less often and rarely need that cut.

Questions about this product

How should I assign the two handle colors?

Pick a consistent color for detail and a second for clearing. Choose the tips that match your design and keep them loaded while you work.

Which profile does this add over the five-tip kit?

The #4 square gouge. Compare it with the rounded U gouges if you want a flatter-bottomed channel.

Can two people use the kit at the same time?

There are two handles but one of each tip. If both people need the same profile, add a matching spare.
