The Sizing Tool is used in conjunction with a parting tool to obtain accurate and consistent diameters up to 3 inches on spindlework. It fits either the Robert Sorby 3/8" beading and parting tool or bedan. The two screws lock the sizing tool firmly in place.
To use the sizing tool set the parting tool to the desired size with a steel rule - lock tool in position by tightening the wing screws. Rough out the timber to within 1/2" of the desired size using skew chisel, beading and parting tool, or parting tool. Use the sizing tool with a backward and downward pressure to produce the accurate finished diameter.
