Robert Sorby RS200KT Multi-Tip Shear Scraper
The Robert Sorby RS200KT is a multi-purpose turning tool that comes packaged with three replaceable cutters - two for hollowing, one for scraping. Of the two hollowing cutters, the one with the rounded end is designed for general roughing out and will create a flowing curve as in the bottom of a vessel. The more pointed cutter is for fast material removal and also produces a crisp corner in a box. The scraper features a rounded section for inside curves and a flat section for outside curves.3/4" half-flat shank is in permanent contact with the tool rest and so minimizes the impact of rotational forces. Hollowing tips are fitted to a swivelling clamp. Swivelling clamp allows for straight hollowing and undercutting under a rim. One tip is rounded to create a flowing shape like bowls. Second included tip is pointed for squarer shapes like boxes. Second end of each HSS tip is left plain for the turner to custom shape.Also includes a scraper blade for finishing. Scraper has three different working faces making it a round scraper, a half-round scraper and a square scraper all rolled into one. Scraper can be used on the half-round shank for shear scraping. All three tips/cutters are HSS and sharpened with a diamond hone on the top.Includes hex wrench and hex-head bolts.Replacement cutters available from Rockler. Separate beading, coving, and recess cutters (also called dovetail cutters) available separately from Rockler.
