Product Info The Robust Extra Large Skew is made from Hardened and Nitrided M2 tool steel and measures 1-3/8” across and 3/8″ thick. The lower edges of the gouge have a generous radius to help rolling the gouge to make beads and coves. The top edges also have a small radius. The tang is rectangular, but will fit the 5/8″ handle system. The extra mass of this tool is really impressive. The edge is beveled 20 degrees and has been hollow ground on an 8” diameter wheel before honing to a razor sharp edge. The cutting edge of the gouge has been ground to a gentle 3” radius. The edge profile has a small return at the top, adding versatility for cutting beads and adding details. Learn more about the Nitriding process used by Robust tools here.
