So we have bedans; beading and parting tools; spindle gouges; spindle
masters and skews for many of the same cuts. I would also put skewchigouges
and three point tools in there. Could there be more than one way to skin a
cat?

Don't buy the hype that a skew is the do all end all for spindels. The
skew does 1 thing and 1 thing only makes V cuts sure you can do more
with
it but still its only good at 1 thing.


I have always had difficulty with a skew. I aggree it's only good for
making vee cuts. The Robert Sorby spindle master does everything a skew
does with none of the problems and in my opinion gives a better finish
