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 beveled 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.
