This is a friendly reminder to sharpen your tools

This is a friendly reminder to sharpen your tools 🧰

Sharpening tools is an integral part of all woodworking. Blunt tools are not only dangerous, but they also make hard and laborious work of what should be a pleasurable activity.

Having sharp tools is only part of the equation; knowing what they are made from and how they are made is equally important when sharpening your tools. A cutting tool is all about the best balance between hardness, toughness, and edge retention.

The Robert Sorby ProEdge offers effortlessly repeatable sharpening every time. Hugely versatile, this industrial strength machine is built to last and delivers astounding ‘factory finish’ results without fail.

💡 Did you know the Robert Sorby Tool Rest Adjustme

💡 Did you know the Robert Sorby Tool Rest Adjustment Collar allows a tool rest height to be easily adjusted up or down just by turning the outer adjustment ring?

A common problem for every Woodturner whilst turning, is that when a new height position is required, and the locking handle is released, the tool rest drops, and the position is lost.

The Tool Rest Adjustment Collar, also referred to as the 'TRAC', ensures the tool rest stays at the personally set height, even when the tool rest locking handle is released, allowing the tool rest to be moved to a new position without the need to reset the height prior to locking into place.

Available now in nine sizes to suit the standard tool rest stem of virtually every lathe available in the world 🌍 as well as the full range of stems from the Robert Sorby Modular Tool Rest System.

Here at Robert Sorby, we still use many traditional methods to produce our world-renowned tools.

A grindstone, also known as grinding stone, is a sharpening stone used for grinding or sharpening ferrous tools, and has been used since ancient times. Tools are sharpened by the stone's abrasive qualities that remove material from the tool through friction in order to create a fine edge.

Many of our Woodturning tools are still hand-ground on the 'grindstone' by our skilled craftsmen to create the perfect finish.

You can see both traditional and modern CNC methods in our 'A Day in the Life of Robert Sorby' Video on our YouTube channel, plus many helpful videos to ensure you get the best from your Robert Sorby tools.
