Key Features: The Robert Sorby TurnMaster has been a revelation since its release a few years ago. It makes a perfect introductory tool for the beginner or a fantastic foil for the more experienced woodturner looking for another flexible tool to equip their workshop. This set delivers economy and efficiency in abundance. Three easily attached heads allow for quick interchanging of tools at a fraction of the cost of three separate versions. These can be prepared in advance of a project allowing the turner to quickly swap heads and deliver varying cuts in a matter of seconds. The Box – Made from sustainably sourced birch plywood – comb jointed with a beech frame. Items included: RSTM Tip1 Round (fitted to head) – a general purpose cutter, excellent for rapid removal of material RSTM Tip2 Detail Point (fitted to head and RSTM-SH shank) – Excellent for roughing square to round when turning centres on spindle work RSTM Tip3 Square (fitted to head) – Used for generating square shoulders on tenons where a turned part is to be assembled into a hole e. Also a great shear scraper RSTM Tip4 French Curve – Great for finishing out in egg cups, goblets and round bottomed boxes RSTM Tip5 Dovetail or box cutter – as the name suggests this tool is designed to create dovetails and tenons to mount timber on scroll chucks RSTM Tip6 Teardrop – Ideal for scraping and shear scraping inside forms RSTM Tip7 Mushroom – Designed for undercutting mushrooms but has many applications 2xRSTM HEAD – Patented Indexable tool head specifically designed to operate in three positions for standard scraping and shear scraping work.

Robert Sorby Pro Edge Deluxe woodworking/turning tool sharpening w/accessories, Used for about 6 weeks; ill health forced business to close so this superb sharpening device needs a good home. It does need new belts but is in excellent working order… ! This is the “V” shaped Gouge Jig – for spindle and bowl gouges plus the Fingernail Profiling Jig. The Skew Chisel Jig support bar broke off so needs a spot-weld or something similar. The belts are worn and I would always recommend getting new anyway… So the whole deal is more than pretty good.
