Sorby External Shear Scraper

Sorby External Shear Scraper is a specialized woodworking tool designed for enhanced wood turning through shear scraping. This technique uses a scraper presented at an optimal 45-degree shear angle, resulting in a safer slicing action that produces a superior finish often eliminating the need for sanding. The risk of the cutter digging in is greatly reduced, making it ideal for precise and smooth work. Featuring a square cutter fixed on a 3/8" square shank, this tool rests firmly on the tool rest and maintains the perfect angle when used in either direction. The cutter can be repositioned multiple times before requiring re-sharpening, which is easily done by honing the top face. The cutters for both the internal and external scrapers are fully interchangeable, adding versatility if you already own an internal shear scraper. The tool is equipped with a comfortable 10" ash handle and measures 18-1/2" in overall length, crafted with quality in England. Model Number: B827003
