The unique Robert Sorby Universal Indexing System (763) allows the turner
to accurately divide and locate the workpiece in one of 24 positions. This is a
datum point from which a whole host of patterns can be created.
• Precise locking of the workpiece allows for accurate boring or carving
• An innovative Indexing System, not dependent on a chuck
• Supplied with full instructions
• Available in sizes to fit most popular lathes

INLAYING
Inlaying adds character. A Precision Boring
System (765) is used in conjunction with the

pieces. Pre-bored hardened steel inserts are
available in metric – 6, 9 and 12mm – or inch
sizes – 1 ⁄ 4 " , 3 ⁄ 8 " and 1 ⁄ 2 ". Corresponding HSS brad
point bits ensure total accuracy
when drilling.
• For use in conjunction with the Indexing System
• Full instructions supplied
• State tool post and stem size when ordering,
either 1 ⁄ 2 " , 5 ⁄ 8 " , 3 ⁄ 4 " , 1", 25mm or 30mm

Finishing Collection
SANDMASTER
The Sandmaster is an essential part of every
turner’s tool kit.
• It comes with 5 different grits of abrasive to
take even the roughest projects to a glass-like
finish every time.
• It avoids an uneven finish often associated
with hand sanding and there is no danger of
catching hands on the revolving project.
• There is little or no surface damage/head
build-up, as there is with power sanding and
there is no cable to trip over.
410
For those producing work in miniature we also offer
a handy micro sandmaster (ref. 888SM) which is
depicted on page 35.
• Head articulates to access even the most
difficult areas. Ref

• Sponge head is ideal for working in tight
spaces. 410

GOBLET AND BOWL MOPS
Produced from a fine grade of cotton these
deluxe mops have been made to deliver the
ultimate finish. They are
used after sanding to
buff oil, lacquer and wax
finishes to a lustrous
sheen. Mops are fixed
to the Sandmaster using
the pigtail mandrel.
