| THE SQUARE END CHISEL |
|
A square end chisel is often used after a gouge has been applied, to rough out a basic shape. If sharpened correctly, a lathe chisel should produce a more accurate and smoother finish. |
 |
| THE SKEW CHISEL |
| A skew chisel can also be used to produce a smooth and accurate finish, after a gouge. The skew of the chisel allows the lathe operator to get into tight shapes / corners. |
 |
| FULL ROUND SCRAPER |
| A full round scraper is used to cut hollow areas / internal curves. Some experienced wood turners prefer to use scrapers, ground to various shapes. If sharpened regularly, they produce a good finish. |
 |
 |
| SQUARE END SCRAPER |
| A flat scraper is used to produce a flat or level surface. |
