Crown Oval Skew, 1/2 in. Many lathe tool rests can be rough, causing rectangular shaped skews to catch, jump, and create unwanted gouges on the workpiece. The Crown Oval Skew is designed without sharp corners, allowing it to move smoothly over the tool rest and transfer leverage to the cutting edge more efficiently. This results in clean cuts and a mirror-like finish. The skew features a 6-1/2" long high-speed steel blade combined with an 8-1/2" long hardwood handle, making the overall length approximately 15 inches. Crafted in England, this tool both precision and durability. Model Number: 249W
