Sorby Tool

There was a Robert Sorby multi tip hollowing tool in that batch of tools I bought at auction.  It was missing the straight bit and the circular hold down for it.

Went to work on the lathe and made the hold down.  Took a 3/16" hole for the screw so I use the same size hole for the cutter and made the cutter from a 3/16" drill bit.  Flattened one side of the bit on the belt sander, cut it to length and sharpened it.  Turned out well and saved myself a few bucks.

    Jeez Dan, you are truly Handy! Great job! You guys that do this stuff I really admire.

    Since I am a rookie turner, does that little ol metal stick really hollow things?

    Yes it will John.  I think the key to hollowing is taking small bites.  Less catches.

    Thanks Dan, man, a whole world of turning, and I am only nipping the tip of a needle with turning!
