Robert Sorby #827H External Shear Scraper

With its square shank seated firmly on the tool rest, this scraper will ensure the optimum shear angle of 45° in either direction. The result is a slicing action that produces a superior finish, often requiring little to no sanding. In addition, the risk of gouging is virtually eliminated. This particular model combines the Sorby Shear Scraper Handle with a (rounded) Square Cutter designed for scraping the outside curves of bowls, goblets, spindle turnings and more. The same handle will also accept the optional Round Cutter (#90269, sold separately), which is designed for scraping inside curves. Both cutters can be re-positioned several times to make use of the entire perimeter before needing to be sharpened. Sharpening is accomplished easily by honing the top face. Replacement cutters are available in both round and square styles.
