Product details

Tool complete with wooden handle, TurnMaster shank and mounting head for cutting inserts. Inserts are not included.   The Robert Sorby TurnMaster is the first turning tool that combines three steel qualities in one flexible tool. The cutting inserts are available in HSS (High Speed Steel), hard metal (HM) and titanium nitride (TiN) and are therefore suitable for every conceivable area of application in long and cross timber. Due to the steel structure, HSS offers a very fine and sharp cutting edge, but has a shorter tool life compared to HM and TiN. Carbide cutting edges have to be sharpened significantly less often, but they do not have the sharpness of an HSS cutting edge. TiN combines the advantages of both steel alloys and is a surface coating that considerably stabilizes the cutting edge of the HSS steel. The variety of cutting edge qualities (HSS, HM, TiN) and cutting insert geometries (round, square, diamond-shaped) offers a wide range of possible uses for a wide variety
