Robert Sorby Code B840G062

Excelsior High Performance 1/4 inch Spindle Gouge

The Robert Sorby range has been designed with the connoisseur woodturner and those who regularly turn hardwoods in mind. A plasma bonded titanium nitride finish layered over traditional triple tempered high-speed steel provides longevity and edge retention.

The Titanium Nitride coating increases performance and resistance to edge wear. The cutting edge on these tools will outlast the normal Sorby HSS tools by a minimum of three fold. Spend less time sharpening and more time turning.

11/64 inch or 4.5mm between the tips of the flute (Often called a 6mm spindle gouge)

Chisel shaft is 6.3mm diameter

Handle is 10 inches or 250mm long

Handle is made from American plantation Ash.

Overall Length is 16.5 inches or 420mm

Titanium Nitride (TiN) plasma bonded coating:
* TiN is bonded onto quality High Speed Steel. It provides the same advantages as HSS whilst enhancing the cutting life close to that of Tungsten Carbide.
* Uses the same traditional sharpening equipment as used for HSS
* Sharpens to 0.15-0.2 microns - HSS is 0.2-0.4 Microns, Carbide is 0.7 Microns (smaller is sharper)
* Hardness of coating; up to 85RC (HSS is 62RC. Tungsten is 90RC)

Note, when you grind a Nitride coated chisel you grind the bevel which moves the cutting edge slightly up the flute providing a fresh edge of Nitride coating on the cutting surface.
