Robust, Nitrided HSS, 1" x 5/16" Large Skew
All Skews from Robust Tools are manufactured in the United States using premium high speed steel (HSS). Each tool is treated with a proprietary Nitriding process which results in significantly improved edge-holding and reduced sharpening.
After machining the tools to shape, they are heat-treated 62-64 Rockwell C. The hardened tools then go through the Nitriding process, increasing surface hardness to 1880 Vickers (75+ Rockwell C). Because the treatment is diffused into the metal itself, it will not flake, peel or chip. The tools are just as easy to grind as regular HSS and sharpen well on conventional and CBN wheels.
All Robust Skews are flat milled on the top and you can use your sharpening jig all the way down to the end.
- Find the right Collet System to easily change tools utilizing the same handle: Robust Collet Sets. Choose to either create your own handle or use one of the two lengths provided by Robust!
Robust combines skillful engineering and quality materials to produce premium woodturning lathes and accessories.
