Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this for scraping? A: While possible, skews are designed for shearing cuts. For scraping, a dedicated square or round nose scraper is safer and more effective.
Q: What is the benefit of the 3/4″ width? A: It is more stable than a 1/2″ skew but easier to maneuver than a 1″ model, making it the most versatile size for general shop use.
