Using Skew Chisel

  • One of the most feared and loved of all woodturning tools, skew chisels are used primarily in spindle turning for turning beads, "V" cuts, and for making peeling cuts, planning cuts and tapers. Skews require good tool control and ample practice to master.
  • A turner's chisel with an angled cutting edge and a symmetrical bevel. Used to take fine cuts, especially beads and tapers. Notorious for "catching" -- going out of control leaving a rough screw-like pattern on the turned surface.
  • the end is straight but angled relative to the body (usually 60 degrees)

I'm practicing my skew chisel technique. On the left is a snowman ornament turned by the guy who taught the class I took. On the right are all my attempts so far. I invariably screw it up somewhere. I figure after a hundred or so of these I ought to have the hang of it.
