Clifton 500 10'' Convex Spokeshave

Product Description

Clifton Spokeshaves are made from virtually unbreakable spheridal graphite/malleable iron; the surfaces are finished and polished to give maximum comfort in the hand; the weight and balance permits the Spokeshave to sit firmly on the wood so that only a stroking action is required to make them cut. The firm seating and fine adjustment allow the woodworker to make delicate nuances in the weight of cut.

Available in either a Concave (550) or Convex (500) version. Spare cutters are also available.

The Convex Spokeshave is the counterpart to the concave model and is essential for recessed work. The Concave Spokeshave may be used instead of a draw knife to chamfer square timber, but is more often used as a delicate tool by furniture makers to shape on curves e.g. carbriole legs or for blending in cuved surfaces made by machine - such as posts and stair rails.

Both this convex spokeshave and the 550 concave spokeshave have a length of 10'', a weight of 15oz and a curve of 2 1/2'' diameter.
