Overview
If you have reservations about using a skew chisel on your small turning projects, the Sorby Micro Spindlemaster is the answer. It has no corners to catch and dig in, and it planes, beads, coves and trims end grain with a polished bevel that leaves a superb finish from the tool, especially on softer woods. The 10" long Micro Spindlemaster is ideal for small projects like boxes, rattles and turned pens but also can work on larger pieces.

The tool is probably great, I have no doubt, but I like my skew better for working on pens right now. Maybe I just need to learn how to use it. I'm sorry I can't give it a big heads-up.

Oh, I like this tool. For those of us who are skew-challenged, this works very well. It IS possible to have a catch with this tool (which may say more about me than the tool...) but much less frequently, and it does produce a nice finish.For me, I can use the skew pretty well from right to left (I'm right-handed) but often catch from left to right. Now I just switch to the Spindlemaster when going to the right. It also tends to make coves easily and with a nice finish, in either direction, and can even be used as a finish scraper for those coves.The tool came nicely sharpened. My only concern is that eventually (probably not for a LONG time), sharpening by honing the flat side will reduce the thickness of the tool.
