Google is your friend-amazon.com has a few. Also highland woodworking.com  sells TheBodger 2" roughing gouge-all 0f course in Trumpton.  Couldn't find any in UK.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Steve,
Ashley Iles do a 2" SRG but at the moment their website is showing as Out of Stock and further down the page it does say Discontinued.
http://www.ashleyilestoolstore.co.uk/turning-tools/gouges/50mm-2-spindle-roughing-out-gouge (http://www.ashleyilestoolstore.co.uk/turning-tools/gouges/50mm-2-spindle-roughing-out-gouge)
Knowing Ashley Iles, I would suggest giving them a call as they are the sort of company who will produce a tool if there is a demand.

I notice Bernuk1 suggested the Bodger from the USA. Unfortunately, their tools are like the budget range from Axminster - cheap and cheerful but don't hold an edge. That's not the sort of thing you want, especially on an SRG as they take a bit more 'hammer' than other tools.

Good luck,

i'll try ashley iles if no other options are suggested.

i've only bought used ones off of ebay before so they don't last too long.

I've also got one, which came from a private sale of used tools (in a bundle). I am unlikely to use it, and I think it may not be HSS, but happy to offer it. Looks very similar to the one from Tony.

the one I have is like the top pic that Tony and Di put up,their second pic look like pole lathe tools to me,the pole lathe SRG is a lot shallower than an electric lathes SRG,as with theother tool,can`t see if its a scraper or a skew,but looks wide enough to be a pole lathe tool,what`s your thoughts Tony and Di ?.

     Hi Eric the one on the right is a wide flat scraper and the one on the left is a continental roughing gouge ,although never
     used either of them they came in a job lot I got some time ago.
     Kind Regards Tony di
