Sorby Oval Skew Blade, 1/2 in. is a finely crafted turning tool designed for woodturners who prefer to create their own handles or use Robert Sorby Sovereign System handles. This delicately balanced tool acts as the "plane" of a turner's toolkit, allowing it to glide smoothly along the tool rest without the edges catching. for smoothing cylinders, cleaning the end grain of spindles, and cutting shallow curves, beads, pummels, and v-cuts, it is indispensable when a fine finish is required. The blade is tanged at one end and measures approximately 8 inches in length overall. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), the blade is 1/4 inch thick. For use with the Sovereign System, a tang collet adapter (85406) is necessary. Crafted in England, this tool combines precision and durability for excellent woodturning results. Model Number: B809130
