Description

Robert Sorby Swan Neck Hollowing Tool 20"

Robert Sorby manufactures a wide range of hollowing tools. Among the most popular is their range of swan neck tools.

The smallest Robert Sorby swan neck tool is the 850H at 14″ in length. The cutting edge of this tool is machined from high speed steel section and is designed to work through the narrowest of apertures – as small as 3/8" (10mm).

The larger tool (851H) provides a heavier section and has the benefit of a replaceable swivel cutting tip – the General Purpose 851C cutter. The 851H is designed for end grain use on shallow depth projects. The (855H) model uses the same cutting tip but being longer allows for greater reach.

These tools are designed for hollowing small and miniature work on branch wood or end grain timber.

The 24” version (859H) is produced from a more substantial steel section and is suitable for both end grain and side grain working.

All of these tools are used with the round bar directly behind the swan neck (curved area) against the tool rest. Details on tool size, minimum attainable apertures and maximum project depths can be seen in the table below.

GREAT VALUE FERRULES!

These ferrules are excellent value for money and did just what I wanted to make a new handle for an antique turning chisel

A good company to deal with

This was my first purchase with this company. They were a delight to deal with. The chisel arrived well packaged. It was put briefly on the grindstone before being used. I will have many hours enjoying this bowl gouge.

The ferrules are excellent quality

The ferrules are excellent quality, robust and seamless with a neat chamfer at one end to assist fitting. I am refurbishing a number of antique chisels that have come into my possession and these ferrules make the perfect finishing touch.

Heavy duty ferrules

Excellent quality appreciably thicker than others I have bought off eBay in the past. They are dimpled in one place which I'm not sure I really wanted since I think they'd be better punched when mounted.
