It is ideal for shaping curved components such as cabriole legs and for blending machine-shaped curves on posts, stair rails and similar workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvex No. 500 – For Recessed Work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clifton No. 500 Convex Spokeshave is the counterpart to the Concave model and is intended for recessed and internal curved surfaces.
