The Robert Sorby Excelsior medium tear drop cutter provides a multi-facetted, highly efficient cutting edge in a durable coating. As with all teardrop cutters, the shape 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.
This cutter is also available in high speed steel.
Sharpening: Use a diamond file or honing stone around the profile of the cutter. To gain best results and increase the longevity of the cutter this simple procedure should be done little and often. Use the RS472 cutter holder to reshape the profile on the Robert Sorby ProEdge or on a grinding wheel.
This cutter is designed for use with the following tools: Multi-tip Hollowing Tool (RS200KT, RS200)
