The RS200KT multi-tip hollowing tool is one of Robert Sorby’s most versatile tools. Its massive half-round shank and interchangeable tips make it capable of multiple applications. A Robert Sorby legend, this tool is a must-have for every turner’s collection. Cutters also available in our Excelsior high-performance range (Titanium Nitride coating). Complete with 3 tips ie;RS200C ,RS 211C and RS 212C.

The Robert Sorby small tear drop cutter provides a multi-facetted, highly efficient cutting edge. The shape of the cutter effectively converts the tool into a round, half-round or square scraper suitable for use on the inside or outside of small bowls, platters and hollow forms. Use the straight edge on outside curves and the rounded shapes for internal curved shapes. A great all rounder that supports traditional scraping and shear scraping techniques. Sharpening: Use a diamond file or honing stone flat across the top face. To gain best results and increase the longevity of the cutter this simple procedure should be done little and often.

The Hollowmaster is the perfect complement to the Multi Tip Hollowing Tool. It uses the same unique design of a meaty ¾" flat shank which when laid on the tool rest gives ample support to prevent the tool from being turned over by the rotation of the wood. You are not fighting the laws of nature, but removing wood with ease. Its swan neck design means that the Hollowmaster can reach those spots which are often difficult to reach. Like the Multi Tip Hollowing Tool, the Hollowmaster also has interchangeable tips. For hollowing there is a rounded tip to give a nice sweeping curve in the turned vessel and for fine finishing there is a full round scraper cutter. Both tips are simply sharpened by means of a diamond hone or file. Replacement tips are readily available. An extra long version of the Hollowmaster (SOV-RS340) enable the turner to reach further into the worked vessel.

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.
