Is there any advantage of an oval skew over the standard rectangular shaft skew?
My skews are ovalish. I find its less likely to catch, TBHIs there any advantage of an oval skew over the standard rectangular shaft skew?
I have the Sorby Spindlemaster - that was my introduction to HSS. It is also a nice option and easy to sharpen.Round? Crap, don't throw another choice at me.
Now I'm googling that and find both rounded tip and round shaft skews.
That spindlemaster had me a little puzzled at first glance, but seeing it in use on youtube, it does look really useful and efficient!
I'd imagine folks have ground chisels into custom shapes, too.
