Extra Large Woodturners Straight Skew - 1-5/16" x 3/8" x 9" with a 5/8" Tang. M42 cobalt HSS.
Great tool for roughing out spindle work and beautiful clean cuts.
We offer two additional sizes: 1” x 5/16” x 9" with a tang that fits a 5/8” handle receiver; and 3/4” x 9/32” x 9" 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.
Some turners prefer this traditional type of skew. Plenty of customers have asked for it...so here you go - a size and profile for everyone! ~ JIMMIE
