Robert Sorby Medium Tear Drop Scraper Cutter HSS - RS200C
Key Features
The Robert Sorby medium tear drop scraper cutter, like its big brother (Large Teardrop RS213C) provides a multi-facetted, highly efficient cutting edge. The shape of the cutter effectively converts the tool into a round, half-round or square scraper suitable for use on the inside or outside of bowls, platters and hollow forms. Use the straight edge on outside curves and the rounded shapes for internal curved shapes. A great all rounder that supports traditional scraping and shear scraping techniques.
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
This cutter is also available in Robert Sorby’s high performance, titanium nitride coated, Excelsior series
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.
