Appletons' cyclopaedia of applied mechanics: a dictionary of mechanical engineering and the mechanical arts . ing Tools.—For finishing plain work, we have the tool shown in Fig. 2679, whichis the exception noted previously as being at the same time a finishing and a cutting tool. It is calleda skew-chisel, because its cutting edge is ground at an angle or askew to the centre line of its , it is beveled at the cutting end on both sides (as shown in the edge view), being groundvery keen. It is employed for finishing straight or parallel surfaces, and for dressing down the endsor the sides of a collar or shoulder. When used for finishing straight or parallel surfaces, it per-forms its cutting in the centre of the length of its cutting edge only, as shown at A in Fig. 2680,and is held in the position relative to the work shown in Fig. 2679. When nicely sharpened it leavesa polish, unlike other finishing tools. But with these advantages, it has the drawback of a propen-sity to tear into the work, which can be overcome only by learning from practice how to handle the 2679.
