I have a question on the Richard Raffan 1 inch Radius skew I just received. The Bevel Angle is 70 degrees.
The skew is 3/8 inch thick with a Bevel length of 3/8 inch. This doesn't follow the 1-1/2 x the thickness calculation I have been reading on this forum, which would equate to a 9/16 inch bevel.
Do all 1 inch Skews come like this with the purchaser required to grind their own preferred Bevel? I tried cutting with this Bevel Angle and did not like it at all. I am debating whether to grind to a 40 degree or return this tool. But, thought I would ask questions before doing either.
BTW - I also purchased a 1/2 inch Skew, 1/4 inch think with a 3/8 inch bevel length with an angle of 40 degrees. Worked great before putting a diamond hone to it.
