Medium Woodturning Skew - 1" x 5/16" x 9" with a 5/8" Tang. M42 cobalt HSS.
We offer three additional sizes: largest skew at 1-5/16” x 3/8” x 9" with a tang that fits a 5/8” handle receiver; 3/4" x 9/32” x 9" with a tang that fits a 1/2” receiver; and the detail skew at 1/2" x 1/4" x 8" with a tang that fits a 1/2" receiver. All are radiused on the heel-edge of the shank to slide easily across the tool rest. 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 roughing out spindle work and beautiful clean cuts.

Bought this skew to make planing and paring cuts on production runs of spinning tops. Been avoiding the skew as a front line tool for 30 years but felt this would be the best tool for the job so I went for it. Worked great and will definitely find more ways to use it now that I have a feel for it. It’s another well balanced and engineered tool and a welcome addition to my almost completed collection of D-Way tools. Buy this tool if you want the best, you won’t be disappointed.

I already have a large skew from Dway and love it. So buying the 3/4 inch skew
was a no brainier.. Dave's products are excellent.

I recently purchased the med. skew and handle from you and I then watched the on how to use it. I could not be happier, I use the skew more now than my roughing gouge. These tools are great and this won't be my last purchase. The videos are also top notch.

Dway tools are simply the best. This skew is made from very robust steel and cuts wood like a hot knife trlhrough butter. And the design of the tool is fantastic. Frankly Dway tools are so good I no longer buy anything else. I’m presently on the process of replacing all my current turning tools with Dway

The design and strength of size is great. By the way the new handles are much better than the old design.

Tool exceeded the high expectations set by the website and demonstration videos. Shipped fast, delivered quick, quality packaging and protection of the product. High quality skew chisel and the D-Way videos helped prepare me for the tool usage and sharpening. Handle system is excellent and has both great ergonomics and weighting. Blows every tool I bought before it away.

The profile is forgiving, no catches. Sharp, clean cuts, well balanced. Problems now are definitely not the tool.

Glad my D-Way skews finally arrived from Dutch customs office. Tried them straight away, fantastic tools, razor sharp, perfectly finished. Very well packed for overseas shipment to the Netherlands. Freight and customs rates can’t keep me from buyind D-Way tools. After 2 skews and a fantastic bowl gauge my next purchace will be the CBN grinding wheels. I do it D-Way, what about you??

Came sharp and stays sharp, made with excellent steel. The radius on the edge makes turning beads much easier
