Robert Sorby Multi Tip Hollowing Tool RS200KT

Robert Sorby Multi Tip Hollowing Tool RS200KT

Features

• The RS200KT multi-tip hollowing tool is one of Robert Sorby’s most versatile tools. Its massive half round shank and interchangeable tips make it capable of multiple applications. A Robert Sorby legend, this tool is a must-have for every turner’s collection.
• For Hollowing: Unlike other systems, when used for hollowing, the RS200KT is used with the flat section on the tool rest. This eliminates all the rocking and rolling often associated with hollowing and puts the turner firmly into control. For the rapid opening up of an aperture or for creating a crisp corner in the base of boxes use the RS212C hollowing tip. If a gentler sweeping curve is required for example in the bottom of vases the RS211C's curved cutting edge is more suitable. To under-cut rims of bowls offset the cutter. Both tips (RS212C and RS211C) are available in Excelsior titanium nitride plasma bonded coatings.
• For Finishing: Fitting the HSS tear-drop shaped cutter (RS200C) turns the tool into a multi-faceted scraper. The shape of the scraper cutter converts the tool into a round, half-round or square scraper suitable for use on the inside and outside of bowls, platters and hollow forms. With the flat surface of the shank on the tool rest, scraping is in conventional mode. By turning the tool round, with the half-round section of the shank at 45° on the tool rest, it becomes a highly efficient shear scraper giving fine shavings and a highly polished finish which may not need sanding. This scraper is formed at 90º to make it double sided. (RS200C is also available in the Excelsior series).
