Turning Tool Sets
At Robert Sorby we produce tool sets to appeal to a wide array of turning styles and individual tastes.
The 67HS comprises six tools that support the enormous range of Robert Sorby standard tools. This set is incredibly popular
and offers excellent value.
The shorter handles offered by the 52HS set make excellent introductory level tools, ideal for handling small projects and more
detailed work. The tools in this set are lighter and appeal to a variety of different users.
For fine detail work the handled micro tools and the popular modular system are an excellent choice. A full range of these
tools can be seen on pages 34 - 37. These tools are designed for miniature work and pen turning.
All tools are made from the very best high speed steel and are hardened and tempered to Robert Sorby’s own specific
requirements. Polished flutes and hand finished handles typify the quality and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of the
Robert Sorby brand.
