The Roy Collection of Gougers
The Dual Bearing
Double Radius Oboe Gouger
One now has the choice of a platform with the Guillotine or without. A separate planer must be purchased. Please inquire for info and pricing
Recently upgraded with a more precise carriage height mechanism for overall gouge thickness. 3rd generation guides and upgraded blades for highly accurate gouging. Improvements in chip thickness hardware have also been made.
The gouger has a solid feel due to the high tolerance linear bearings and guide rod but at the same time is remarkably smooth and seemingly effortless. The aesthetic appearance has a dual function. The curves of the guide are very soft and easy on the hands and the weight of the guide carriage with the extreme sharpness of the blade enables one to gouge with ease. The removable guides that will incorporate different curve geometry, all aluminum cane clips, the ease of adjustment, aesthetic and functional appearance all contribute to the extraordinary experience.
The gouge produced is one I have been sending out recently which tends to be in the 60-45 region as it works with most all canes and shapes. This gouger can be set easily from .57-.62mm in .01 mm increments with accuracy. Other measurements can be achieved ie. 60-47, 60-48or49 etc., with various guide and blade combinations. The center of the curve is based on a 9-10mm diameter for consistent openings.
The standard set up is the Roy guide and "E" blade. Other configurations with different guides and blades are possible. Please email for info.

All Brass Double Radius Gouger or Gouger, Pre gouger Guillotine Combination
For those purchasing outside the USA be sure to check the import taxes for your country as I will be making a Customs Claim for actual costs.
VERSION 3
This is a double radius gouge with a permanent guide. Not interchangeable. The traditional hardware is simple and so is the design. Very comfortable and easy to use like all of my gougers. Can be used with a number of different blades. Please inquire as to what blade would work for you.
As with any of my other gougers, cane samples may be purchased to try them out. When ordering specify which blade combinations you would like.
Please ask about Student pricing.

Single Radius Gouger for Oboe
This gouge is made to be as strong as possible without sacrificing vibration. It produces a vibrant reed. Perhaps the most overlooked gouger in the lineup. It's simplicity is deceiving. This gouger consistently produces a 60-45 gouge.
The gouger has a hardened steel blade that is zinc coated to prevent rust. Due to the thickness of the brass guide this machine has a solid feel and consistently produces Identical gouged pieces. The height is easily adjusted with a traditional revolving eccentric bearing spindle found on other machines. The machine is a direct copy of early Graf machines with the exception of the modern bed design, single radius guide and height adjuster. Cane clips are of Aluminum, most suitable for the smoothness of operation.
A great economical resource for all players.
The finest and simplest machine for those that are interested in this type of gouge.

Roy Oboe Pregouger Guillotine Combination
This combination Pre Gouger Guillotine will prepare your cane to exact specifications for all Roy gougers.
The Guillotine has a moveable cane length adjuster for varying bed lengths and also a very sharp curved blade that helps eliminate cracking of the cane when cutting. The blade housing is hardened steel. There is no need for soaking as the cane may be prepared dry. In addition the Guillotine has a very long chopping arm to alleviate the tension and force required. There is a safety rubber ball at the end of the arm to help protect your fingers from those really tough pieces of cane.
Includes the updated combo planer Oboe/EH and super tough Garolite rod. The blade is very sharp hardened steel. The cane is planed to almost exactly 8 millimeters in width making it perfect for the bed of the Roy Gouger. The included precisely machined aluminum table stop is of a tongue and groove design that fits in a groove in the base plate. This allows for one to push with necessary force without movement of the planer. Preparing oboe cane becomes a singular and effortless experience with this tool combination.

Combo Oboe/EH Pregouger Guillotine
|
This Pre gouger Guillotine is interchangeable and can be used to prepare and plane both English Horn Cane and Oboe Cane for gouging. The planer is reversible and can be removed from the base with a Phillips head screwdriver. The blade is easily removed with the appropriate Allen wrench. By flipping the planer and reattaching, it will be able to plane oboe cane or EH, which ever is preferred. Likewise there is an included aluminum spacer which is also attached to the bed and will enable the correct distance for Oboe cane Guillotining. (is that a word?) A Polyacetal fiberglass pushrod with a comfortable handle is included. A table stop is not required.
