Robert Sorby Caliper Internal/External 8.1/2"

Spindle Gouge are ideal for fine detailing on spindle work. Having the wing tips ground back reduces the danger of them catching when working in confined areas. Easily maintained and sharpened using the Robert Sorby ProEdge sharpening system

Thread cutters come in pairs and include a tool for exterior threads and one for cutting matching interior threads. Perfectly designed for making screw tight lids on boxes and caskets, this fascinating and practical aspect of woodturning includes a range of cutting tools 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. To complement these tools, a range of optional items have been produced to provide a complete solution to thread cutting. These include:

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.

These are an indispensable addition to the turner's armoury for measuring both wall thickness and diameters. Because of their design the measurement taken at one end automatically transfers to the opposite end. This enables the turners to take an accurate measurement reading without the need to remove the callipers. Available in 4" and 7" models. The 7" version has an increased depth of throat at one end which permits the callipers to be used in large diameter vessels which have restricted openings.

The SC3 chuck is lighter and more compact than the SC4, making it ideal for use on any lathe, particularly small to medium-sized machines and is still compatible with the full jaw range. The compact design reduces load on the lathe spindles and bearings and gives good access to smaller work pieces. The large jaw slides offer unrivalled strength and holding power that cannot be found in other chucks of this size. Supplied complete with the woodworm screw and 50 mm standard jaws, this package offers unrivalled value. Includes: SC3 Geared Scroll Chuck.

Negative Rake Scraper or Hardwood Scraper, it was originally designed to tackle hardwoods when producing musical instruments. However, the tool is equally at home on all types of wood and is as effective on spindle work as it is on bowls - the action of the negative rake on the bevel reducing the risk of grain tear-out and leaving a polished surface that requires little or no sanding.
