The Robert Sorby 8004 Full Round Scraper Blade is for turners who prefer to make their own turning tool handles. Massive in section, this tool was designed to reduce vibration and be stable in use. Because of the shear bulk (the blade's overall length is just over 9-3/4", including the tang), this scraper can be used with large overhang from the tool rest. Excellent for large bowl work, platters and deep hollowing. Made from High Speed Steel (HSS). Blade is 1-1/2" wide by 3/8" thick. England
