I have been trying to get the hang of using a skew chisel in the limited amount of lathe time that I have, but doing really, really badly. Mostly catching it and chipping chunks off the blank.
I came to the conclusion (based on some videos), that I was using it wrong, but I also ran across some comments about inexpensive lathes not turning fast enough to use a skew properly.
My question is, should I turn the speed up for using a skew? If so, about how much?
