Robert Sorby 330S Unhandled Spiralling System

Unlock an entirely new dimension of decorative woodturning with the Wigley DIY-approved Robert Sorby 330S Unhandled Spiralling System. Designed specifically to fit the Sovereign System using the SOV-C13 Collet, this versatile unhandled tool lets you easily tackle complex barley twists, spirals, and flutes that usually cause headaches on the lathe. Whether you are adding heavy patterns to boxes, spindles, and candlesticks, or carving fine spirals on the stem of a delicate goblet, rope effect twists, and chequered designs, this system delivers professional, repeatable results. Operating on the same proven principle as the texturing tool, it is straightforward enough for novices to master quickly while offering boundless creative potential for experienced tradespeople and enthusiastic DIYers alike.

Approach your work from a variety of angles using the built-in rest, complete with handy graduations to guarantee absolute repeatability. By simply adjusting the degree of off-set, you control the exact pitch of your spiral. Expand your repertoire further by swapping between different cutters, which double as texturing tools. If you already own a texturing tool, you can easily up-grade it by purchasing the tool rest 360 and an appropriate cutter, or explore the micro spiralling tool ref 370A if your requirement is for finer spirals. To see these techniques in action, check out the Robert Sorby Focus on Decorative Techniques DVD, reference RSDVDDT.
