Robert Sorby Multi Tip Hollowing Tools 

Please choose from options above

• 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).
• For Beading and Coving: An additional five cutters allow for a variety of projects from beading and coving to the ceration of bangles, rings and wheels. All tips and cutters are sharpened with the aid of a diamond stone. The five additional cutters available are:
• Recessing and dovetailing (RS234C)
• 1/4" and 1/2" beads (RS239C)
• 3/8" and 5/8" beads (RS236C)
• 1/4" and 1/2" coves (RS238C)
• 3/8" and 5/8" coves (RS235C)
• The respective beads and coves match exactly. Using these cutters permits the addition of further decorations or the production of wheels, bangles and rings. All tips and cutters are sharpened with the aid of a diamond stone or file. Replacements are readily available.
• Please note, cutters can be sharpened using the Robert Sorby 472 tip holder.
