The unique Robert Sorby thread cutting system allows the woodturner to cut a series of different sizes of thread on turned projects. This may enhance such projects as boxes, needle cases, lamp standards and musical instruments, where the ability to assemble and disassemble is an advantage. These cutters have been designed by Robert Sorby specifically for cutting in wood rather than metal as is traditionally the case with engineers thread chasers. This design makes for a clean and accurate thread time after time.
Useful Tip : Threading is a skill which needs practice - it does not come automatically. We recommend that for your first venture in threading you should select a finer thread size (16 or even better 20 tpi).
