The Robert Sorby Sovereign Ultima Cutter delivers the optimum performance level when creating hollow forms. It can be used equally well on wet or dry end grain timber and is designed to deliver exceptionally high performance to meet the demands of the Sovereign Ultima hollowing tool. The titanium nitride version of the cutter adds wear resistance and so increases the cutter’s longevity. Sharpening: Use a diamond file or honing stone around the profile of the cutter. To gain best results use the Sovereign Ultima cutter sharpening jig (SOV-ULTCSJ). The small size of this cutter is aided by the jig. Use a fine grit belt such as ceramic 120 or one of the Trizact range. As with all cutters Robert Sorby recommends sharpening 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.

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).

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.

The 18 Tool Micro Modular set has all the tools the micro woodturner needs to create anything from beautiful pens to intricate dolls’ house furniture. This set also comes equipped with micro decorating and sanding tools.
