ROBERT SORBY SIDE & FACE END CUTTER

Micro Shear Scraper comes fitted with a ⅜" teardrop shear scraper (RS222). Ideal for creating a smooth finish that requires little if any sanding. Like its larger equivalent (RS200C) use the curved edge for internal work like refining the surface of a small bowl, whilst the straight edge is ideal for external shear scraping.

End Seal is an emulsified paraffin wax used the seal the ends of freshly cut timber to slow down the drying process and reduce the risk of timber splitting. It can also be used on work-in-progress that is being left unfinished where there is a risk of the timber splitting. Apply it liberally, normally by brush but it can be sprayed if needed, usually to the smallest surface of the timber which will normally be the end grain where moisture is most likely to escape from. Sealing the surface will encourage the moisture to escape via the larger areas which will result in a slower exit.

The Robert Sorby medium tear drop cutter, like its big brother (Large Teardrop RS213C) provides a multi-facetted, highly efficient cutting edge. The shape of the cutter 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 Robert Sorby’s high performance, titanium nitride coated, Excelsior series. Sharpening: Use a diamond file or honing stone flat across the top face. To gain best results and increase the longevity of the cutter this simple procedure should be done little and often.
