The skew chisel is the equivalent of the plane to the spindle turner as it is used to obtain an even and clean finish on between-centres projects. It should not be used on bowl projects.
There are two shapes of skew chisel. The oval skew glides effortlessly along the tool rest and its shape gives much more manoeuvrability. On the other hand the standard skew is rectangular in section. Its heavier weight makes it ideal for larger projects like newel posts and chair legs.
