The IRWIN Record TA151R Round Malleable Adjustable Spokeshave is ideal for woodworkers needing to shape concave curves. Its primary benefit is the durable, virtually unbreakable malleable iron construction combined with a high-quality tool steel cutter for a superior cutting edge. A potential caveat is that it is specifically designed for concave surfaces, not convex ones.

A spokeshave is a hand tool used for shaping wood, particularly for creating curved surfaces. This round-faced model is specifically designed for concave curves.
No, the IRWIN TA151R is a round-faced spokeshave and is designed for concave (inward-curving) surfaces. For convex (outward-curving) surfaces, a flat-faced spokeshave is typically used.
Loosen the adjustment knob, slide the cutter to the desired depth, and then re-tighten the knob to secure it. You may also need to adjust the lateral positioning screw to ensure the blade is even.
The cutter is made from top-quality tool steel, known for its hardness and ability to hold a sharp edge.
While effective, spokeshaves can have a learning curve. Beginners may find it helpful to practice on scrap wood and consult woodworking guides for proper technique.
The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. It's recommended to sharpen whenever you notice a decrease in cutting performance, such as tearing or requiring more force.
Malleable iron is known for its strength and durability. These handles are virtually unbreakable, providing a long lifespan for the tool.
Increase the cutter depth by slightly loosening the adjustment knob and advancing the cutter. Ensure the cutter is sharp.
Reduce the cutter depth. Ensure the cutter is extremely sharp and properly aligned. Check for any nicks or dullness on the cutting edge.
Verify that the cutter is seated squarely in the body and that the lateral adjustment is centered. Ensure the sole of the spokeshave is clean and free of debris.
Check and tighten the cutter adjustment knob and any other securing screws. Ensure the cutter is properly seated.
