Micro Round Skew is the larger version of the ⅛" micro round skew this tool is also designed for use on spindle work, its wider cutting edge enabling quicker removal of waste material. Can be used on fine, detailed projects to produce beads, coves, highlights and other details.
Oval Skew Chisels were originally designed at Robert Sorby, the profile allows the tool to glide effortlessly along the tool rest without fear of the edges dragging on the rest. They will smooth cylinders, clean the end grain of spindles, cut shallow curves, beads, pummels and v-cuts, e.g. stair balustrading and chair legs. These tools are indispensable if a fine finish is required from the tool.

Robert Sorby Standard Skew is rectangular in section giving it more weight and making it superb for spindle work e.g. newel posts and table legs. Skew has been modified by ‘rolling’ the edges slightly to help turners avoid catching an edge and to allow greater maneuverability.

Box Scraper makes it ideal for cutting the parallel side walls of end grain boxes. The small radius on the point at the bottom of the cutting section creates a smooth intersection between the side wall and flat bottomed vessels. The profiles cause this to be very responsive and sensitive in use.
The curved end profile makes this excellent for creating, smoothing and blending curved surfaces in bowl work, e.g. round bottomed boxes. This tool is able to take an aggressive cut, whilst retaining sensitivity for refining cuts.
Negative Rake Scraper or Hardwood Scraper, it was originally designed to tackle hardwoods when producing musical instruments. However, the tool is equally at home on all types of wood and is as effective on spindle work as it is on bowls - the action of the negative rake on the bevel reducing the risk of grain tear-out and leaving a polished surface that requires little or no sanding.
