Creating barley twists, spirals and flutes has always represented a problem for the woodturner. The Spiralling System (330H) not only overcomes many of these difficulties, but also allows the turner’s imagination to run wild as he enters a new field of decoration. Based on the same principle as the texturing tool, it is simple to use even in the hands of a novice - but still comes with instructions and ideas on further use. The built-in rest allows the work to be approached at a variety of angles - graduations on the rest ensure repeatability. The degree of off-set determines the pitch of the spiral. Another variation is introduced with the addition of three different cutters which can also be used for texturing. From these the turner can either produce amongst other works fine spirals on the stem of a delicate goblet, chequered designs, rope effect twists, heavy patterns on boxes, spindles or candlesticks as well as around the base. The 330H and 330S come with four cutters whilst the 320H and 320S are the same tool but with a single cutter (see table). It is also possible to up-grade a texturing tool to create spirals by the purchase of the tool rest (360) and an appropriate cutter. The Spiralling and Texturing tools are shown to full effect in the Robert Sorby Focus on Decorative Techniques DVD (RSDVDDT). If your requirement is for finer spirals we also have a micro spiralling tool (ref 370A). Also available unhandled for the Sovereign System.
Woodturner Tracy Owen has won many prizes with his textured bowls. The unique Robert Sorby Texturing Tool (310H) allows every woodturner to share his secrets by giving their work that added value and individuality which these effects bring. The Texturing Tool enables the turner to alter the visual and tactile qualities of a work piece by creating striations, whorls, an orange peel effect and more. Let your imagination run wild. Fitted with an interchangeable cutter, the Texturing Tool is just as effective on soft as on hard woods - although the result can be markedly different. The Robert Sorby Texturing Tool not only brings turned pieces to life, it gives hours of pleasure. Also available unhandled for the Sovereign System.

User instructions included. The Chatter Tool is featured in the Decorative Techniques DVD. An endless variety of patterns can be produced very easily. Alternative patterns can be achieved by:- Adjusting cutter lengths Changing cutter shape Altering lathe speed Traverse or stationary cuts Cuts on, above or below centre
The perfect tool for making screw-tight lids on boxes and caskets. This fascinating and practical aspect of woodturning includes a range of cutting tool sets that have been produced from High-Speed Steel in 10, 16 and 20 threads per inch (TPI). They have been designed with a unique, enhanced helix angle specially designed for use in wood. For those attempting their first steps in thread cutting, we recommend starting with the finer tooth pitch set. Thread Cutting Sets consist of a pair of thread cutters (one for internal cuts and one for cutting matching external threads), a thread and sizing gauge (which takes out the guess work out of dimensioning) and the Focus on Specialist Woodturning Tools Part 3 DVD. This informative DVD covers tool use and showcases a series of graded projects. It also includes an introduction to the Eccentric chuck. To complement these sets, a range of optional items have been produced to provide a complete solution to thread cutting. These include: Relief Cutting Tool. Tool Support Rest – to make forming internal threads easier. Thread Cutters in pairs at 10tpi, 16tpi, 20tpi – ideal for upgrading.

Bangles, curtain rings and wheels as well as captive rings on goblets and puzzles are amongst the projects which can be created with the Robert Sorby Captive Ring Tool set. There is no longer a need to have an array of tools to cut different sizes of ring. The Robert Sorby Captive Ring set includes four different cutters to enable the turner to cut rings of 3/16", ¼", ⅜" and ½" from one inexpensive set. The ring cutter tips themselves are interchangeable and located in a specifically designed slot. This slot ensures that the cutter is correctly angled to create a perfect cut on each side of the ring. Together with the ¾" flat shank firmly located on the tool rest, this gives a full control. The cutter can also be angled for access to restricted spaces. Cutters are sharpened with a diamond stone, instructions included. Tools fitted with just one cutter and individual cutters are also available separately.
The Sandmaster is an essential part of every turner's tool kit. It comes with 5 different grits of abrasive to take even the roughest projects to a glass-like finish every time, avoids an uneven finish often associated with hand sanding and there is no danger of catching hands on the revolving project. There is little or no surface damage/head build-up, as there is with power sanding and there is no cable to trip over. Head articulates to access even the most difficult areas. Sponge head is ideal for working in tight spaces. Sandmaster creates a fraction of the dust generated by power sanding. It can be adapted to take a polishing mop.

Ideal for box-makers, this gauge takes all the guess-work out of fitting the major and minor diameters of pieces. With the gauge set at the unmarked anvil this creates a 1:1 correlation between the measuring faces and facilitates accurate push fits. The other three anvils are marked 10,16 and 20 which relates to the tip most commonly used by thread cutters. The gauge has a built-in compensation factor to ensure a perfect thread between internal and external diameters every time.
