Beautifully manufactured and a pleasure to use, Chair Devils begin where spokeshaves leave off, further shaping and smoothing round spindles—available in four sizes.
Chair devils are wonderful tools for final shaping and smoothing of round parts such as chair spindles and posts. The specially shaped scraper blade rounds the workpiece, removing any spokeshave marks. Veritas offers four sizes: the 1/2'' and 5/8'' diameter for spindles, the 7/8'' diameter for rungs and the 1-1/4'' diameter for legs and posts, as well as canoe paddle shafts. The machined steel bodies are fitted with hardwood handles shaped for comfort and control when either pulling or pushing. The machined toe and the two thumbscrews are solid brass. The high-carbon steel blades are 0.040'' thick, hardened to Rc48-52, and come with a finely ground 45° cutting edge. Full instructions included. These tools are a joy to use and are an excellent companion for spokeshave use. Made in Canada.
