Robert Sorby 809H one-inch oval skew
Oval skew
When to choose it
Choose the one-inch 809H for a broader spindle surface where the wider body has room to move. The oval section distinguishes it from Sorby's rectangular 810, and the twelve-inch grip gives a separate point of comparison.
The one-inch size describes the blade. Compare the eighteen-and-a-quarter-inch overall length with a shorter skew if your bench is crowded or your turning details are small.
