Hurricane turning tools
« on: January 29, 2017, 11:08:58 PM »
I need to order a couple square nose scrapers for a project. It seems my options revolve around the Hurricane brand, and Sorby. Obviously Sorby is the best of the best, but I know I will be paying for the name too. The Sorby version is $50, the Hurricane is $20.

Anyone have Hurricane tools to comment on the quality of their steel, especially their ability to hold an edge?

I don't know about the Hurricane tool but I have the Sorby and am very happy with it. As you said no risk there.

I have a few bowl gouges from hurricane and im happy with them they seem to hold a edge well enough i have a habit of constantly sharpening my tool weather it needs it or not ive spoiled myself with sharp tools . I guess you just have to weigh the options on how much your actually goin to use it .i would definitely take the chance with there scrapers if it was a fingernail gouge or my 3/8 gouge that i use every day probably not. Hope that helps :beer:

Vince, do you have the square carbide?

Thank you Ryan!  I appreciate your insight.

BigB, yes, I almost always use my square carbide for getting things to a finished point. I am taking on a new project that won't allow for its use though. :) I will report back after my experimenting.
