When used as a skew the problems of digging are greatly reduced. Suitable for both spindle and face plate. Able to cut beads and shoulders. Designed for detail work primarily on spindle work,the shallow flute and heavy cross section make it stable and easy to control. The radius point provides versatility as the shearing cut can be made either way, depending on the grain direction.
Theround edge allows smooth travel along the tool rest while the tool is tipped on edge.
Tipped 30 - 45 degrees, the shear scraper cut will improve the surface prior to sanding. This tool is specially designed for making accurate recesses to accommodate the jaws of an expanding dovetail chuck. For roughing down stock or turning large spindles. Designed by Rude Osolnik.
