1-3/8'' Alan Lacer Skew Chisel Review

When doing larger diameter spindle work, the typical 3/4" skew just does not work, it is too easy to get a catch when dealing with spindles over 2" in diameter. That is where this skew really comes to the rescue!

The only down side is that this skew is rather hard to sharpen. The blade is too big to fit in the Tormek skew jig, and the whole tool is just a bit too long for the Wolverine jig without modifying the guard around the grinding wheel. While I can freehand sharpen a smaller skew if necessary, a monster this size really needs some sort of jig to get a consistent scary sharp edge.
