Skew Grinds

  • I was so exited to get back to the Skew when I made the "Planing Cut with a Skew" video that I overlooked the whole issue of how to setup, grind, prepare the skew. All too often, though, when it comes to topics like this, the ultimate advice is that "you just have to figure out what works for you". Yet without enough information, how does one figure it out? Here I take a look at the different parameters of a skew chisel and how each affects its behavior. That way you can figure out how to setup your skew(s) for the type of work you do.

    As I am new to turning this is the best explanation and examples of how to use the skew. Your marking the tool to show how and where the tool works is really excellent as it enables us to actually understand and follow . Many thanks Brian greatly appreciated.

    Thank you. That's the best explanation of skew options I've seen. I'm just starting down the rabbit hole with a lathe and getting myself tooled up. I got a box of about 30 tools with the lathe, some nice Sorby pieces and some generic disposable ones. They all need reground and I've made a list from this video for the skews.

    I have not turned in several months and got back out in the shop only to have a horrible time with catches.
    I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.
    after watching about half the video I had to pause and go to the shop.
    It became obvious what I was doing.
    Again thanks for helping me solve my problem.

    Great video Brian. I'm a beginning turner and I've been making rolling pins for friends for a few months. I've made some beautiful laminated, exotic woods, rolling pins, but I've spent probably an hour or more sanding after turning the shape with a gouge. Using a 1-inch skew chisel with your recommended angles, I finished off the cylinder with the planing cut and it took only a few minutes sanding.

  • @Blaze_1961

    What can I say other than Thank You! I am so new to wood turning I haven't even made anything yet , just practice cuts. Reground my 1 inch skew to 70 with a bevel of 40 and amazing how much of a difference it made to the ease and quality of cut. I may experience a rounded skew later after I learn how to control the straight edge.

    @davidg.5076 5 лет назад

    I very much appreciate the time, the knowledge and effort you put into this video. I have several skews and many I have ground similar to what you showed us. While mine work quite well, with your added info I can better tune them now and understand why I would be doing that.. Thanks for your efforts in these videos !
    Incidentally, I just switched from grinding my turning tools to either belt sanding or disk sanding them. I did this to get rid of that hollow grind you were addressing when you mentioned hand honing , which I also do. I got tired of dealing with the aggressive nature of that hollow that forms on turning tools from an 8" grinder. Either taking time to back grind or altering angle ground etc, that's all done with now lol. I'm very pleased with the change I made and I had the belt and disk sanders here all along.. The skew is is one of the easiest to start finishing that way instead of with a grinding wheel too. I can do those free hand, I use the same General tools protractor you were using.

    Excellent video. I especially appreciated your discussion of skew angles. I learned a lot.
    One thing you didn't discuss is the length of the handle on your skews. I just recently adopted using a 7" handle on two of my skews. I find the shorter handles to be much more flexible and easier to use.

    • @BHavensWoodworker
      @BHavensWoodworker  9 лет назад +1

      David Walser I am planning to dedicate an entire video on tool handle length for various tools, so I omitted the topic here. I too prefer shorter handles on skews (and on spindle tools in general) since, as you point out, it is easier to use. I find that the extra tool handle length on spindle tools is not necessary, and I can maneuver a shorter handle in front of my body, etc.

  • @nickyork8901
    @nickyork8901 4 года назад

    Hi Brian, apologies if this question has already been asked/answered, but I wondered if you can advise, in terms of sharpening, whether it is best to have the skew chisel flat ground, hollow ground or with a slight micro bevel. I have a Tormek diamond wheel so I now have the option of either hollow ground or flat ground (using the side of the wheel). I am having a lot of problems with chatter/vibration when using the skew for a planing cut on cherry spindle turning about 1 3/8" diameter and 19" long. Could this be made worse by having a convex bevel or a micro bevel?

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy 9 лет назад

    As a bowl turner, to whom 'skew' is a four letter word that makes my sphincters pucker, I found this interesting, and has me thinking more about it. One thing I am curious about is how the shear angle effects the cut. By shear angle, I mean the cutting edge in relation to the spin of the wood. Most of the time you are at around 45 degrees, which is also very common in bowl turning. When I have difficult wood, such as figured, or stringy, and am trying to tame tear out, I increase the shear angle. Mostly this means rolling the tool more over on its side so the shear angle is 60 to 70 or more degrees. Would or does that make as much difference as the different bevel angles? I compare it to speed bumps in the parking lots. Hit them straight on, and you get a big bump. Hit at a 45 degree angle, you get a smaller bump. Hit it at a higher angle, and it really smooths things out. To me, mostly it makes it easier for the cutting edge to get under the wood and 'lift' the shavings off.... If I get a lot of tear out on maple rolling pins, I resort to shear scraping with my swept back scrapers...

    • @BHavensWoodworker
      @BHavensWoodworker  9 лет назад

      robohippy If I understand correctly what you are calling "shear angle" , it is the same as what I have been calling "cutting angle" (except that we are measuring the angle from a different reference, so what you call 60 to 70, I would call 30 to 20). This angle is indeed much more important than bevel angle since it needs to change with grain orientation e.g. cutting into side grain vs. cutting across end grain. It can also, as you point out, help deal with difficult grain. The bevel angle seems to be mostly species/figured wood related. This is consistent with what I have read and experienced using hand planes, where the angle that the shaving is pushed up and away from the cutting edge can influence whether the fibers break behind (good) or in front of (bad) the cutting edge.
      www.wonkeedonkeetools.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/23WHP-Part-1-Woodworking-hand-planes-Richard/23WHP06/23WHP-6-4.jpg
      www.wonkeedonkeetools.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/23WHP-Part-1-Woodworking-hand-planes-Richard/23WHP06/23WHP-6-5.jpg
      So the bottom line is that, since there are other ways to deal with difficult grain (cutting/shear angle, light cuts, shear scraping), unless the job is large enough to warrant the cost of regrinding tools or buying and grinding a special tool, I would not bother fussing over the bevel angle.
