Skews

Our Woodturning Skews are made from the same M42 cobalt HSS. Our skews come incredibly sharp and ready to use. These are great tools for roughing out spindle work and beautiful clean cuts. Skew bottom edge has a full radius to facilitate easy maneuverability and a seamless transition along the tool rest. Top edge is squared off with the edges nicely eased and our tangs have a 45-degree chamfer. This level of finish makes the tool feel great in your hand and prevent tool marks on the lathe tool rest.

We offer four sizes and two profiles.

• LARGE - Straight & Curved: 1-5/16" wide, 3/8" thick with a 5/8" tang
• MEDIUM - Straight & Curved: 1" wide, 5/16" thick with a 5/8" tang
• SMALL - Straight & Curved: 3/4" wide, 9/32" thick with a 1/2" tang
• DETAIL - Curved only: 1/2" wide, 1/4" thick with a 1/2" tang

Added Straight Skews to the lineup. Some turners prefer this traditional type of skew and plenty of customers have asked for it...so here you go - a size and profile for everyone!  ~ JIMMIE

 [if comparison shopping, always verify the actual size of the tool (not just SML, MED, etc.) and the quality of the steel, shape, and finish.]
