Sale Lee Valley Economy Oval Skew Chisel

This good-quality oval skew chisel represents excellent value. Milled from 6542 high-speed steel (an alloy similar to M2) and hardened to Rc60-62, it comes sharpened ready for use.

For work between centers, the side of the chisel is radiused to glide along the tool rest when cutting beads or pommels. Measures about 22″ overall with a substantial 16″ long ash handle that is comfortable in the hand, allows excellent control, and provides significant leverage during heavy work.

Though this tool is ideal for the budget-conscious beginner, experienced turners will find it useful for experimenting with different grinds.
