The Robert Sorby Bead Cutter is one of five additional cutters available for the popular Robert Multi-tip Hollowing Tool. This double sided cutter will cut beautiful beads on spindle work at ⅜" and ⅝" and is one of two beading cutters available for this tool.
Sharpening: Use a diamond file or honing stone flat across the top face. To gain best results and increase the longevity of the cutter this simple procedure should be done little and often.
High Speed Steel (HSS): This super fine grain structure will provide a razor sharp edge. the result is a superior finish to your turning projects and less need for sanding. Can easily be sharpened on traditional sharpening machines such as bench grinders or on the Robert Sorby ProEdge. (Made much easier with the aid of the tip holder, RSTM-TH). Sharpens to 0.2 – 0.4 microns. Hardness : 62 RC. Material: M2 HSS
