Sorby Excelsior Small Tear Drop Scraper Cutter

Sorby Excelsior Small Tear Drop Scraper Cutter is a high-performance turning tool designed for the discerning woodturner and those who frequently work with hard woods. Featuring a plasma bonded Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating over traditional triple tempered High Speed Steel (HSS), this cutter offers exceptional edge retention and tool longevity. The TiN finish dramatically increases the edge holding ability, outperforming even tungsten carbide and cryogenically treated tools. Its cutting edge reaches a Rockwell hardness equivalent of 80, making it four times more durable than standard tools. The TiN coating also reduces friction between the metal and wood, enhancing performance when working with tough, abrasive woods or knotted burrs. This tool is easy to sharpen and resistant to chipping and brittleness, allowing you to spend more time turning and less time maintaining your tools. The cutter has one flat side and is compatible with several Sorby tool systems, including the Chatter Tool, Midi-Hollowing Tool, RS2000 Hollowing System Articulated Probe, Sovereign Midi Multi-Tip Hollowing Tool, and Micro Tool Scraper Blade. Made in England, this scraper cutter combines advanced materials and design for superior woodturning results. Model Number: RS222G
