RS843H/19 Roughing gouge - 19 mm

Recommended for the initial turning of uneven or square spindle stock to round. The shape of the spindle roughing gouge enables the tool to cut safely with the wings (the tips of the side walls) well back from the workpiece. Not designed for use on bowl grain projects.

RS840H/10 Spindle gouge - 10 mm

These detail tools are used when the wood grain runs parallel to the turning bed between the centers.
Profile gouges are used to create inlets, beads and other profiles on cups, vases, bed poles, candlesticks and other lathe projects.

RS842LH/10 Bowl gouge - 10 mm

A must in the tool kit of every bowl turner. These tools are ideal for making bowls. They can produce either massive profiling cuts or delicate finishing cuts as necessary.

RS810H/19 Skew chisel - 19 mm

This tool has a rectangular cross-section, giving it more weight and making it excellent for spindle work (between centres), such as stair posts and table legs. Sorby has modified the tool by slightly 'rolling' the edges to help turners avoid snagging on an edge and enable greater manoeuvrability.

This tool is mainly used for making cylinders and convex shapes. It gives an excellent finish, making sanding almost unnecessary.

RS830H/3 Parting tool - 3 mm

Used to part the finished project off from the waste material, the parallel sides make for a rigid tool that handles well. The tools reduces the amount of waste, vital if using an expensive wood. It also makes for a fine detailing tool, e.g. beads and fillets.

RS820H/13 Round nose scraper - 13 mm

Used on bowls and platters to create smooth flowing curves.
