No, these are made for spindle work, not bowl turning; a bowl gouge with a stronger flute shape handles faceplate work better.
Choose the 3/4" gouge for lighter spindle work and smaller blanks, and the 1 1/2" for larger stock where you need to remove more material per pass.
It's forged by Henry Taylor Tools in Sheffield, England, from a solid bar of high-speed steel.
