I think I finally figured out how to use my skew. It has been kicking my ?!€& for a few weeks so I watched a you tube video to learn how. 90% of the video concentrated on sharpening, I guess for good reason, I picked up a diamond card and my next attempt was surprisingly effective. I turned an acrylic blank to the bushings with ease. It's an effective tool when you finally figure it out.:biggrin:
