Description

The Robert Sorby TRAC is the perfect addition for every woodturner.

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 new Robert Sorby TRAC allows the tool rest height to be easily adjusted up or down, by up to ½”/13mm, by just turning the outer adjustment ring.

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.

The Acetal seating disc allows the TRAC to operate smoothly and easily. The Robert Sorby TRAC is available 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.

The inner rings are colour coded for ease of recognition to fit the required stem diameter.

How to Use

  • Place the TRAC & seating disc onto the stem.
  • *TIP: Adjust the outer ring so around 1/4” / 6mm of the inner ring is protruding to allow for easy up and down adjustment.
  • Move the TRAC to the desired position on the stem and lock into place with the included Allen key.
  • Allow the sealing disc and TRAC to sit onto the stem colum (A) and adjust to the required height by rotating the outer ring. Now position the tool rest in the desired position and lock the stem in the normal way with the lathe locking handle (B).

Customers praised this tool rest adjustment collar as a "quality piece of equipment" that significantly improves cutting precision. Shoppers reported it helps them hit "the sweet spot of cutting every time," highlighting its brilliant construction and well-made design for consistent performance.

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.
