answer: They ultamitely have a great "skew".
OK,OK, I may not tell the best jokes but I do know a thing or two about how to make a great tool. What follows is the "mating" of tool technology (carbide inserts) from router bits and designing a steel handle to inspire the best cutting skew available today. This new styled skew is easier to handle with no vibration at all. The handle absorbs the "shock" of turning and the solid carbide (disposable) inserts provide the cutting blade. The inserts are as sharp as a rasor blade and stay this way through multiple pen turnings. Simply rotate the insert as the blade dulls and you have an instant "scary sharp" edge at your disposal.Turn a wood handle to suit your needs and you will have an heirloom tool.
As a self admitted tool junkie, this is currently my favourite shop tool to date. I'm turning "cylinders" without effort and best of all, I don't need expensive sharpening jigs and grinders to keep my "edge" at peak performance. If you care to offer an opinion, I welcome your comments especially if you have used the one sold through CS-USA.
