Medium Skew (3/4″) – Handled
$ 119.00
Our medium skew is made of Premium HSS and measures 3/4” by 9/32″. The edge is beveled 20 degrees and has been hollow ground on an 8” diameter wheel before honing to a razor sharp edge. The cutting edge of the gouge has been ground to a gentle 1” radius. We consulted with noted turner Matt Monaco on the profile of this grind. The radius of the profile has a small return at the top, adding versatility for cutting beads and adding details.
The lower edges of the gouge have a generous radius to help rolling the gouge to make beads and coves. The top edges also have a small radius. The premium 12″ hard maple handle has a durable polyurethane finish and stainless steel ferrule. Also available unhandled.
