Q: What is a chair devil for?
A chair devil does the final shaping and smoothing of round parts such as chair spindles and posts. The specially shaped scraper blade rounds the workpiece and removes any spokeshave marks.
Also available individually.
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.
This set includes all 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. Each of the sizes is also available individually.
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 and 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.
