Masonry SDS chisel bits for nice rouging gouge?

[Ttrees]

Just looking at some local tools online, and spotted some SDS chisels for masonry work,
and remembered I have one somewhere
Has anyone made a roughing gouge from one?
If so it might make a nice winter project for me
Thanks

Probably won't hold as keen of an edge as HSS would but I can't see why not.

Masonry chisel bits are usually made from case hardened alloy steel - they have a hard 'skin' surrounding a tough, relatively soft core. Might not be the best place to start from for a DIY turning tool!

Thanks guys
I was guessing that it might not be worth it, or it would have been done allready.
Tried finding it with no luck yet, sounds a bit of a waste of a grinding stone after a big mess
with the angle grinder
