Crown 252KW CRYO Cyrogenic 1-1/4-Inch Oval Skew Chisel

Details: Crown's 1-1/4" Oval Skew in the Cryo treated version. Oval Skews have no sharp corners so they move smoothly over the tool rest, and transfer leverage to the cutting edge more efficiently. They cut cleanly and leave a mirror finish. Stained black ash handle is approximately 14" long, and the tool has an overall length of approximately 20-3/4". England About Crown Cryogenic Tools Years ago tool makers discovered the enormous benefits of cryogenically (super-cold) treated tool cutters, especially plane blades. Now this technology has been applied to select Crown Turning Tools to bring a giant leap in turning tool performance. Cryo treating cutting tools alters the crystalline molecular form of key ingredients in the metal. This altered structure helps the metal achieve a vast improvement in wear resistance for longer life and longer edge retention, and a superior feel in use.
