Carving Skew Chisels
The Closed Seat is Used
These tools are manufactured with a skew angle of approx. 25°. You can sharpen your chisel
either with the existing skew angle or you can shape it to a new skew angle of your choice.
For using this jig the chisel must have a certain min. length, which depends on the edge
angle and the skew angle. At a 25° edge angle and a 25° skew angle the min length of blade
is approx. 105 mm (4⅛"). The shape of the shank must also be able to be locked in the seat,
otherwise use the open seat.
Mount the tool protruding (P)
50–75 mm (2–3") and lock it
with the side screw (4).
Mark a line across the wheel
guided by the Universal Sup-
port. Use a water proof pen
or a pencil if the wheel is wet.
Put the tool on the Universal
Support and turn it until the
bevel is parallel to the line.
Tighten the bottom screw (6).
Setting the existing skew angle
A scale on the seat enables you
to set the desired skew angle.
Lock the position with the
bottom screw (6).
Mount the tool protruding (P)
50–75 mm (2–3") and lock it
with the side screw (4).
