Product Description
Our Large Woodturners Skew - 3/8" x 1-5/16" - 5/8" Tang is made from the same M42 cobalt HSS.
We offer two additional sizes: the medium skew, approximately 9/32” by 3/4” with a tang that fits a 1/2” socket; and the small skew is approximately 1/2” by 1/4” with a tang that fits a 1/2” socket. All are radiused on the heel-edge of the shank to slide easily across the toolrest. The long point edge is machined flat. The short point edge has a machine radius to facilitate rolling beads. All sharp edges on the length of the shank have been softened. The skews bevels have been pre-sharpened and polished to a mirror finish, ready to make shavings.
Great tool for roughting out spindle work and beautiful clean cuts.

The best made and at a competitive price. Outstanding tool and value.
Posted by John H. on Nov 11th 2019
I've been a hobby turner for about 10 years and have a background in nuclear power engineering and management with a degree in mechanical engineering. Over the years I have experimented with various tool manufacturers and their steels, including M2, M4, A10, and now M42. Frankly, I'm not sure I can tell a difference in the edge holding ability of the better steels, M2 excluded. What I do notice, however, is the quality of the tool manufacturing and here D-Way is in a league of their own. This large skew, for instance, is something of a work of art, functional and beautiful at the same time. It has a "heft" you will notice and the contoured edge on the heel side is perfectly done so that the tool rolls beautifully. Even the edges on the toe side are radiused ... I hate sharp edges on tools or on my work. The tool is polished so that it looks and feels great. I made a 16" handle from dogwood with a copper ferrule for it and it is, again, beautiful to look at and a joy to use. On top of that, the price is competitive with tools that aren't half the quality. I'm impressed and I'm not often so. I wish I had started with D-Way tools but now I know. Buy D-Way, get the best. .

A great addition
Posted by Dennis Detlefson on Jun 11th 2018
I've had Dave's smaller skew for a while and love it so I ordered the large skew, it is a beast but works every bit as well as the smaller one. Comes razor sharp and stays that way for a long time. I am amazed how clean a cut this skew and it's little brother make, I think the curve on the skew angle makes it so much easier to handle

A Beast!!!
Posted by Michael Ogden on May 15th 2018
Razor sharp when received. As Dave said in one of his videos, "I sharpen them before I send them so they will at least be sharp once." :-) A very impressive bit of kit.

I really can rough a square into a cylinder
Posted by Dave Sessions on Jul 1st 2017
Dave, your large skew is awesome. It does what you said in your video. Planing and v-cuts are done easily. I haven't graduated to making beads with it yet. I like the detail gouge for that. Thanks for your tools. You make a top drawer product.

The best tools made
Posted by Norm Benjamin on May 11th 2017
This skew is the best I have ever had. It holds it edge for a very long time with very clean cuts. I have many D-way tools and find them to be the best money can buy. All the tools are made with the best materials and hardened correctly to give the maximum performance. A lot of cutting with very little sharpening required. Any tools I purchase today come from D-way tools.

The right screw for the job!
Posted by David Raphael on Dec 3rd 2016
Love it. I bought the large screw and love it's heft and feel. It's sturdy and heavy enough for big jobs, and I love the fact that it fits into my existing handle.
