Sorby Excelsior Medium Tear Drop Scraper Cutter is expertly crafted for the connoisseur wood turner, especially those who frequently work with hard woods. This scraper cutter features an advanced Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating that dramatically enhances its edge holding ability, ensuring longer-lasting sharpness and superior performance. Designed with one flat side, it is compatible with the Sorby Multi-Tip Hollowing Tool (RS200KT), Sorby Sovereign Multi-Tip Hollowing Tool (SOV-RS200), and Sorby Sovereign XL Multi-Tip Hollowing Tool (SOV-RS300). The TiN finish, plasma bonded over triple tempered High Speed Steel (HSS), exceptional durability and edge retention, outperforming even tungsten carbide tools in tests. This combination reduces friction between the tool and wood, making it especially effective for cutting through extremely hard, abrasive woods or knotted burrs. The result is a tool that lasts four times longer than standard options, resists chipping and brittleness, and is easy to sharpen, allowing you to spend more time turning and less time maintaining your tools.
