261271 "Linda & Tom Hall" <l-thall@c...> 2017‑01‑14 Re: Angle of Skew Chisels
I bought a set of Japanese chisels about 30 years ago from Garrett Wade for
making dovetails
and have never used them, time fly's.
There two crank necks, 6mm and 28mm, matching right & left skew chisels at 6mm
and 28mm.
The angle of the skew looks to be a little under 35 degrees, quiet pointed.
They look to be ground for making dovetails also the crank necks look like what
you see in ad’s
today.  I haven’t seen ad’s for the Japanese skew chisels.
Recently I contacted Garrett Wade and Product Specialist Joe Wolfe got back to
me that he
believes they were made by Iyorol.
I would love to get them into users hands, I’m quite embarrass they have just
sat there all these
years.  Is there anyone out there that uses Japanese chisels that would be
interested in buying
or trading other tools.  Contact me of list l-thall@c... for pic’s.

But to Tom Conroy request the skew is about 33 degrees.
