Robert Sorby H9100 - Spiraling System

Creating barley twists, spirals and flutes has always represented a problem for the woodturner. The Robert Sorby Spiralling System (330H) not only overcomes many of these difficulties, but also allows the turner’s imagination to run wild as he/she enters a new field of decoration. Based on the same principle as the texturing tool, it is simple to use even in the hands of a novice - but still comes with instructions and ideas on further use. The built-in rest allows the work to be approached at a variety of angles - graduations on the rest ensure repeatability. The degree of off-set determines the pitch of the spiral. Another variation is introduced with the addition of four different cutters which can also be used for texturing. From these the turner can either produce among other works fine spirals on the stem of a delicate goblet, checkered designs, rope effect twists, heavy patterns on boxes, spindles or candlesticks as well as around the base.
