Description

Robert Sorby Oval Skew 1/2" Handled 809H

Delicately balanced tools that are the planes of the spindle turners tool kit. Originally designed at Robert Sorby, the profile allows the tool to glide effortlessly along the tool rest without fear of the edges dragging on the rest..

The oval skew will smooth cylinders, clean the end grain of spindles, cut shallow curves, beads, pummels and v-cuts, e.g. stair balustrading and chair legs. These tools are indispensable if a fine finish is required from the tool.

GENERAL CARE
We recommend applying a light oil to the blades when not in use to keep them in perfect condition.

The ferrules are excellent quality

The ferrules are excellent quality, robust and seamless with a neat chamfer at one end to assist fitting. I am refurbishing a number of antique chisels that have come into my possession and these ferrules make the perfect finishing touch.

Heavy duty ferrules

Excellent quality appreciably thicker than others I have bought off eBay in the past. They are dimpled in one place which I'm not sure I really wanted since I think they'd be better punched when mounted.
