Sorby Excelsior Full Round Scraper Cutter

Sorby Excelsior Full Round Scraper Cutter is designed for the connoisseur wood turner and those who frequently work with hard woods. This scraper cutter features a plasma bonded Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating layered over traditional triple tempered High Speed Steel (HSS), providing exceptional tool longevity and edge retention. The TiN coating dramatically enhances edge holding ability, outperforming even tungsten carbide and popular cryogenically treated tools. With an impressive Rockwell hardness equivalent of 80, the cutting edge lasts up to four times longer than standard tools. The combination of TiN finish and HSS eliminates brittleness and chipping, while allowing for easy sharpening with a diamond file. Additionally, the TiN coating reduces friction between metal and wood, making it especially effective when working with extremely hard, abrasive woods or cutting through knotted burrs. This means you can spend more time turning and less time sharpening. The cutter is compatible with several Sorby turning tools, including the Hollowmaster and Sovereign Hollowmaster blades.
