RS 860H Micro Negative Rake 1/4

Product Description

Robert Sorby Micro Hardwood Scraper 1/4"

The Hardwood Scraper is different in that it has a negative rake on the bevel. It is designed to reduce or eliminate tear-out of the fibres of wood leaving a highly polished surface on all types of wood. This feature is particularly highly sought after by those working in the typically hard woods like African Blackwood. Musical instrument makers find the Hardwood Scraper a particularly useful addition to their collection of lathe tools. It is equally effective on spindle and faceplate work. The micro version is ideal for working on smaller projects like pens or dolls house miniatures.
