Large Curved Sole Spoke Shave
This gidgee Curved Spoke Shave has a 75mm (3") radius and is 280mm long x 24 mm wide x 22 mm high. Weighs 0.5 Kg and has the option of a 45mm wide x 1.6mm thick x 34mm long Tool Steel (TS) blade hardened to Rc 62-64 OR a High Speed Steel (HSS) blade hardened to Rc 62. The HSS is ideal if you plan to reverse the blade to bevel up and use it as a scraper on hard timber.
It has a 55 degrees blade pitch for planing and by reversing the blade (to bevel up) it will perform as a scraper for use of hard cranky woods.
Used for fine finishing of inside curves. You can also plane a combination of inside and outside curves with one pass once you have mastered this tool.
