TT2

Kemper TT2 · Small Teardrop head · Heavy steel head brazed to a steel shaft · For shaping, contouring and trimming on the wheel · Works on clay and plaster

A small teardrop head for shaping, contouring and trimming on the wheel. The head is brazed to a steel shaft, not pinned.

TT2 is the small teardrop in Kemper's turning range, for shaping, contouring and trimming clay and plaster on the wheel. The heavy steel head is brazed to a steel shaft. That matters on the wheel more than it sounds: a turning tool takes its load sideways against a piece coming round at speed, and a joint that can work loose is a joint that will. Plaster as well as clay, which is worth knowing if you turn your own moulds.
