 | Internal and External Shear Scrapers
The square section of the tool shank ensures that the cutter tip is always presented at 45 degrees. This is known as shear scraping and ensures that the fibres of the wood are peeled away to leave a very fine finish - sanding may not be necessary.
There are two shapes of tip - one for internal work, one for external. The tips are fully interchangeable on the tool shank. Sharpen with a diamond hone.

 | Hardwood Scraper
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. Full instructions included. Featured on the "Robert Sorby Specialist tools - Part 2" CD.
