Hi all! I have the Rockler three carbide chisel kit for turning pens. When I first began turning pens I used a small gouge and skew. I liked the control I got with the skew, but with acrylics is wasn't smooth sailing. The carbide helped solve that problem. Can one use the square carbide cutter as a skew (that is approaching the blank from an angle)?

Thanks!!

Would it be fair to say try it and see how it works for you. I work better with certain tools. There are no rules(I think)
