Title: Spokeshaves
Post by: Spanky on February 01, 2012, 10:58:05 AM

Hi,

Am currently looking at getting a coupe of spokeshaves, one round and one flat. Is there a specific type or make that I should try to get hold of?

Thanks for your help.

record or stanley are good for round bottomed spokeshaves. same for flat or you can use the old style beech ones. sent you a pm btw

Have noticed with stanley/record spokeshaves that they come in differerent numbers ie 63. Is there a specific number that I should be looking for?

63 is round, and 51 is flat. That's all you really need.


TBH I use a £5 silverline spokeshave off Amazon and it does the job fine
