Description

Woodcut code ISSR

The Woodcut Tools Irons Shear Scraper is designed to shear cut the external shapes of bowls and hollow forms. Think of it like a cabinetmaker’s scraper for turners.
It is used to refine shapes, remove any high spots and torn grain, create smooth curves and flowing lines. The benefit of this is a uniform surface straight from the tool that makes sanding easier.  

Ideal Preparation for Dye of Stain because the cutter opens the wood fibres, dye and stains can be accepted easily and better than a bevel finish, or flat-topped carbide cutter which can also cause tear out.

Designed by turners for turners. Made in New Zealand.

* This tool uses a 40 mm or 1.6 inch steel diameter cutter with high carbon and chromium content and a hardness of approximately 62 HRC for better wear resistance and a sharp edge. The cutter is 4mm thick. Ideal for both hard and soft woods.
* The cutter angle can be easily adjusted while you work with the spring washer, secured with a button head screw, fixed with the hex key supplied.
* The cutter is three sided so that you aren't constantly having to hone a single edge, as one edge dulls another can be rotated into position. The cutter can be easily sharpened with a diamond hone. (Please note, a white wheel grinder is not suitable).
* The shaft is 16mm (5/8" dia). round and 12 1/2" long. Milled to support the cutter and easy to hold without a handle. Features a black oxide finish to help prevent corrosion.
* Please note: This tool should not be used on the interior of bowls or vessels.

Note, this chisel is available only unhandled. It has a 5/8 inch (16mm) shank for fitting to the handle of your choice.
