Intended Use

Skew chisels are designed to cut at an angle, with a flat rectangular blade that has an angled edge.

Ideal for making clean slicing cuts instead of scraping cuts and creating smooth bevelled edges. They can also produce very fine surface finishes on spindles.

Can be used to clean up the surface after using a roughing gouge.

Because the edge slices diagonally through the wood fibres, it leaves a cleaner surface than many straight chisels — but it also requires careful control to avoid catches.

Cryo Hardened M2 HSS Woodturning Chisel

Cryogenic treatment of M2 HSS means this steel has been subjected to a complex immersion procedure at temperatures as low as minus 195C. The result is that the High Speed steel has a hardness of 65HRC. That is extremely hard. Typical HSS chisels are 58HRC. A higher hardness level improves wear resistance and edge-holding ability, ensuring that your tools stay sharper for longer, typically 5 times longer than standard HSS chisels.

With M2C chisels you spend more time turning: less time sharpening. When it is time for sharpening the blades are remarkably fast and easy to sharpen, as they allow you to remove less material to produce a perfect razor sharp edge.

With handles made from Ash, distinctive stainless steel ferrules and laser etched blades. The blades are sharpened, polished and ready to go.
