Description
Clifton Spokeshaves are among the most robust and beautiful spokeshaves available today. Made from virtually unbreakable spheroidal graphite iron, they are machined and highly polished to create a tool that is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to use, easy to adjust, and performs exceptionally well. They can be set to take thick shaping cuts or delicate finishing shavings. The blades, measuring 2-1/8″ wide, are made from cryogenically treated O1 steel, hardened to 60-62 Rockwell C, and lapped to 0.125″ thick. These blades hold a superior edge while remaining easy to sharpen. The blades are ground to 30 degrees and will require final honing before use. The blade is seated against a milled bed set at 45 degrees and adjusted via a thumbscrew blade adjuster, allowing for chatter-free cuts and fine depth-of-cut adjustments. The blade can be fully retracted into the body when not in use to protect the edge.
These spokeshaves work equally well for push or pull strokes and are best suited for shaping and refining inside (concave) curves. The curved-sole spokeshave has a base with a 1/2″ flat area that then sweeps up and away from the blade, allowing you to make subtle adjustments to the depth of cut by rolling the sole forward or back, thereby changing the angle of the cut.
