Robert Sorby Ultima Hollowing Tool

Small tool enables woodturners to produce hollow forms up to 11" (275 mm) (included with 16" handle)
Medium tool enables woodturners to produce hollow forms up to 16" (400 mm) (included with 22" handle)
Made from high-grade HSS
An articulating link which enables the turner to undercut the rims of projects and produce a variety of hollow form shapes from traditional vase to squashed form
Only one third of the cutter is exposed at one time, allowing you to rotate the blade twice through 120" before it needs to be sharpened
Designed for both wet and dry woods
Shaft can be extended with additional links (sold separately)
Cleverly designed shaving clearance which prevents clogging in normal use
A high-performance cutter system which slices through wood rather than scrapes
Adjustable cutter depth for heavy or light cuts with fine micro adjustment for extra finesse
Removable cutter can be easily replaced or sharpened with diamond hone

NOTE: American-made tools are measured by bar diameter while European brands are measured by flute size. Hence the 3/8" collet is designed for a European 1/4" gouge, and the 1/2" collet for a 3/8" gouge while a 1/2" gouge will fit directly into the handle.
