Robert Sorby Square Scraper 1"

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.

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

Robert Sorby Standard Skew is rectangular in section giving it more weight and making it superb for spindle work e.g. newel posts and table legs. Skew has been modified by ‘rolling’ the edges slightly to help turners avoid catching an edge and to allow greater maneuverability.

Parting Tool's are used to part the finished project off from the waste material, the parallel sides make for a rigid tool that handles well. The ⅛" – 3mm tool reduces the amount of waste, vital if using an expensive wood. It also makes for a fine detailing tool, e.g. beads and fillets.

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.
