Manufactured in Sheffield by Robert Sorby

Robert Sorby has been manufacturing woodworking and woodturning tools in Sheffield for over 200 years and is recognised worldwide for producing some of the finest woodturning tools available.

What's Included

This carefully selected six-piece set includes a versatile range of woodturning tools suitable for the majority of turning projects.

The set includes:

• Roughing Gouge
• Spindle Gouge
• Skew Chisel
• Parting Tool
• Round Nose Scraper
• Bowl Gouge

Together these tools allow you to rough square timber into cylinders, create beads and coves, produce clean planing cuts, turn bowls, shape spindles, form decorative details and achieve smooth finished surfaces with confidence.

Premium High Speed Steel (HSS)

Each tool is manufactured from premium High Speed Steel, allowing the cutting edges to remain sharp for significantly longer than standard carbon steel alternatives. HSS also tolerates the higher temperatures generated during sharpening, making the tools easier to maintain throughout years of regular use.

The result is less time sharpening and more time producing accurate, clean cuts on your wood lathe.

Comfortable Hardwood Handles

The polished hardwood handles have been ergonomically designed to provide excellent balance, comfort and control. Their generous length improves leverage while reducing fatigue during extended turning sessions, making them suitable for both beginners developing their skills and professionals undertaking long periods of work.
