This is Robert Sorby’s flagship set and our most popular tool combination. Suitable for anyone into turning, from beginners through to professionals. We strongly believe that anyone starting out turning should buy the best tools they can afford.
This set comprises six of Robert Sorby’s core range. These are the standard by which the best of the rest follow and are a great introduction to those who have made up their minds turning is for them.
Set Includes:
- 843H ¾” Spindle roughing gouge – turns square to round, a real work horse
- 840H 3/8” Spindle gouge – details spindle work
- 842H 3/8” Bowl gouge – makes light work of the hardest material and will quickly turn bowls
- 810H ¾” Standard skew chisel – modified this year to provide a slightly ‘rolled’ edge to help guard against catching an edge, this tool still retains much of its weight making it an ideal choice for larger spindle work, such as newel posts and table legs
- 830H 1/4” Parting tool – for parting off work and great for detailing
- 820H ½” Round nose scraper – just the job for bowls and platters
Please quote part numbers for individual tools.
GENERAL CARE
We recommend applying a light oil to the blades when not in use to keep them in perfect condition.

The tools were delivered promptly and safely. The initial grind from the manufacturer was a bit rough, but they responded to treatment on the Tormek OK.
Been using them for a while and I have no complaints, although perhaps they are a little on the large side for my small lathe.

The Sorby turning tool set was best priced at Yandles. Ordering was straightforward, and delivery was prompt. I’ve hardy used the set so far but it looks and feels robust and professional. The little use it’s had has not disappointed.
