Held securely by the jaws of the Patriot chuck, the Steb Drive ensures an unrivalled grip on any wood. It uses the same innovative head design as the original Stebcentre holding the wood securely with its forward facing serrated teeth and spring loaded centre pin.

Held securely by the jaws of the Patriot chuck, the Steb Drive ensures an unrivalled grip on any wood. It uses the same innovative head design as the original Stebcentre holding the wood securely with its forward facing serrated teeth and spring loaded centre pin.

The original Stebcentre is an invaluable accessory for every woodturner. Fitted in the lathe head-stock it is a boon for both the novice and the experienced. Its ring of sharp teeth ensure that the Stebcentre bites the wood to give more security and more drive. Because there are several points of contact there is minimal risk of splitting. The Stebcentre can be used with equal confidence on both soft and hardwoods as well as synthetic materials. In its patented design the Stebcentre also features a spring-loaded point. By slightly backing off the tail-stock the work piece still remains resting between the revolving centre and the Stebcentre. This allows the turner to inspect his work without the need to switch off the lathe. Where time is a critical factor the Stebcentre is ideal as the work-piece can be quickly removed without stopping the lathe. Overall length: 4". Patent No. 2286138

All Robert Sorby’s extensive experience of producing rugged timber framers’ chisels has gone into producing these two exquisite framers’ slicks. The combination of weight and balance coupled with a traditional finish means these slicks produce a truly fine, yet accurate cut. The blade is off-set from the handle. This allows extra clearance when working on deep mortices or taking long paring cuts. Made from high carbon steel Robert Sorby slicks offer a perfect combination of hardness and toughness together with a razor sharp cutting edge. The working face has a slightly hollow surface for ease of honing and the back face is rounded off to eliminate sharp corners giving extra comfort and security. Made of ash, the handle has been specially contoured for comfort. It is affixed to the blade by means of a heavy duty tang. An innovative socket is fitted between the blade and handle to make this the strongest of framing tools. Available in 2⅜ and 3⅜" widths. Heavy duty leather holsters and edge guards are also available. The holster is especially useful when working outdoors. Massive slicks for framers and boat builders (overall length is 28") Off-set blade gives clearance in deep sockets Strong, solid one-piece forging Heavy duty socket lends additional strength Corners rounded off for safety Purpose made leather holster and edge guard available

Holds tips and cutters securely allowing easy sharpening of small and difficult to grasp attachments.
