Wow, I’m impressed with both your content, subject, and delivery of the details! You have a new subscriber! The exact information I was looking for! I’m looking to get one of these and your video helps me make up my mind
good work man. just bought a 1/2" bottom feeder. the d-way tools are sharp out of box. gives one an idea what "sharp" is. Being a senior it is nice to see and hear a focused junior. cheers.
So technically yes, and no. A bowl scraper is designed to clean up tool marks and tearout after the work of a bowl gouge has been completed. A side ground bowl gouge (fingernail, 40/40, etc.) is designed to cut the wood with the "wing" of the gouge and and into face grain. When you try to use a side ground bowl gouge on the bottom of a bowl you would be cutting into end grain usually resulting in tearout and dulling of the gouge. The same way a chainsaw chain dulls when cutting into end grain rather than ripping with the grain. When you use bottom bowl gouge (straight up grind) it is designed is such a way that you can use the gouge to cut the face grain of the wood efficiently and without tearout or dulling the gouge. After that work has been completed then a bowl scraper is used, while you can use a bowl scraper to do the whole thing it is rather inefficient especially on larger bowls where you might spend more time sharpening it than turning. Let me know if this makes sense. Also I was not paid to say this by anybody to sell more tools, this is just my personal opinion from experience.
I get more torn grain with a scraper than a bottom feeder. I also like 60 degree. If you really want to use a scraper, and I sometimes do, I recommend a negative rake with a sharp burr.

Doesn’t a bowl scraper also work for the bottom?
