As JPI stated, you can do a lot with the skew. It will depend some on what type of plugs you are making and how much wood you need to remove. I still use a 3/4 inch gouge when turning dowels if I need to remove a chunk of wood on one section. 1 inch skew for everything else. I've been using Sorby tools. Good stuff, not cheap either. Also pick up a face shield and a respirator designed to filter out fine dust particles. Sandpaper too.
