Robert Sorby modular tool rest system

This system has many design features which enables the turner to build up a collection of tool rests, which makes it a MUST HAVE in every wood turner's workshop. The system is as easy as 1-2-3.

First choose the Stem that fits your lathe – stems are available in 1/2″,5/8″,3/4″,1″,11/8″, 25mm, 28mm and 30mm diameter.

RSB-L765/S13           ½” Stem x 3 ½”

RSB-L765/S16           5/8” Stem x 3 ½”

RSB-L765/S19           ¾” Stem x 4 ½”

RSB-L765/S22           7/8” Stem x 4 ¾”

RSB-L765/S24           1” Stem x 4 ¾”

RSB-L765/S24L         1” Stem x 6”

RSB-L765/S25           25mm Stem x 4 ¾”

RSB-L765/S28           28mm Stem x 5 ½” 

RSB-L765/S30           30mm Stem x 5 ½”     

The securing flats machined on the Stem ensure a perfect fit when screwed into the toolrest.

Then select from the Crossbar range – the one that suits your requirements. Screw them together and you have a perfect tool-rest. It is the interchangeability of the system that makes is so simple to use on any lathe. Once you have the stem you can just keep on adding different Crossbars.

The crossbars are available in three straight bar lengths of 4",6" and 9" together with a 9" 'S' bar for internal and a reverse 9" 'S' bar for external bowl turning. Also available is a box scraper platform for easy access and extra stability into the bottom of boxes. Made in the UK.
