The Robert Sorby small tear drop cutter 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 small 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.
Use this cutter on the Chattertool, or Midi Multi-tip Hollowing System or Deep Hollowing System.
Sharpening is achieved by honing the face of the cutter with a diamond file or honing stone. Regular honing will maintain the sharp edge and extend the useable life of the cutter.
