Sorby Excelsior Spindle Gouge Blade, 1/4 in.

Sorby Excelsior Spindle Gouge Blade, 1/4 in. is a high-quality turning tool designed for the connoisseur wood turner and those working regularly with hard woods. This 1/4" blade, approximately 8" in length, is crafted from triple tempered High Speed Steel (HSS) and enhanced with a plasma bonded Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. The TiN coating dramatically increases edge retention and tool longevity, outperforming even tungsten carbide in durability. This combination not only prevents chipping and brittleness but also makes sharpening easier. The reduced friction between metal and wood allows for smoother cutting, especially when working with hard, abrasive woods or knotted burrs. Ideal for producing detailed work on between-center projects where the grain runs parallel to the lathe bed, this tool helps you spend more time turning and less time sharpening.
