Spokeshave is a tool, which is nowadays relatively little known and used. It looks like a small delicate drawknife with precise chip thickness adjustment. It is used, for example, for making wooden bows, wheel spokes or handles.
This new design combines the structural advantages of both wooden and metal spokeshaves. The blade is stable and placed at a relatively small angle, which has a positive effect on the cutting properties. This new design features a unique solution of chip thickness adjustment thanks to the movement of the tapered brass sole. The setting can be quickly changed during work by turning the knob.
