Robert Sorby Sizing Tool

Sorby's Sizing Tool is used with a parting tool (not included) to rapidly and accurately size your spindle turning work. It mounts on 3/8" beading & parting or 3/8" bedan tools.

The tool access hole measures .4" x .4". Your parting tool must be 3/8" x 3/8" maximum. The steel extending form the handle of the tool should be 6-1/4" long to acheive the maximum depth of cut (about 1/8" diameter on your workpiece. Maximum stock diameter you can create with the sizing tool is 3".

Rough out the stock to within 1/2″ of the desired size using the beading and parting tool, or parting tool. Use the sizing tool with a backward and downward pressure to produce the accurate finished diameter.
