Woodturner Tracy Owen has won many prizes with his textured bowls. The unique Robert Sorby Texturing Tool (310H) allows every woodturner to share his secrets by giving their work that added value and individuality which these effects bring. The Texturing Tool enables the turner to alter the visual and tactile qualities of a work piece by creating striations, whorls, an orange peel effect and more. Let your imagination run wild. Fitted with an interchangeable cutter, the Texturing Tool is just as effective on soft as on hard woods - although the result can be markedly different. The Robert Sorby Texturing Tool not only brings turned pieces to life, it gives hours of pleasure. Also available unhandled for the Sovereign System.

The honing compound is used together with the Tormek Leather Honing Wheels. The unique qualities of the leather together with the honing compound will effectively remove the burr created from sharpening, without damaging the edge. At the same time, it will also polish the bevel to the finest finish. The honing compound contains a combination of micro-abrasives and polishing components (average grain size 3 micron). One application lasts for about 5–10 tools. Work the honing compound into the leather. The leather honing wheel will become saturated and more efficient the more you use it. When you have a new honing wheel, impregnate it first with a light machine oil so that it gets the right texture and can absorb the honing compound. If you work in a dry climate, you might need to re-impregnate the honing wheel after some time with a few drops of oil before you apply the fresh honing compound. Do not let the compound dry, apply more oil if necessary.

Upgrade for earlier Tormek machine models. With the Horizontal Base, you can move the Universal Support from vertical mount (for grinding towards the edge) to horizontal mount for grinding away from the edge.

The double curve provides excellent versatility for many different-sized bowl turnings. The rest is radiussed on the top and bottom edges for smooth movement of the chisels and it can be used in either orientation for even greater versatility.

Useful to hold small carving tools at the correct angle.
