Description
This #650 round bottom Clifton Spokeshave is made from virtually unbreakable spheridal graphite/malleable iron. All surfaces are finished and polished to give maximum comfort in the hand. The weight and balance of the tool permits the Spokeshave to sit firmly on the wood so that only a stroking action is required to make it cut. The firm seating iron and fine adjustment allow precise adjustments in the depth of cut. The blade is made from cryogenically treated 01 steel, is 2 inches wide and a full 0.125 inches (3 mm) thick. Weighs in at a full 16 ounces. Sole is 1 inch wide. Overall length is 9 inches.
