TurnMaster Hints and Tips 2018

The Robert Sorby Turnmaster is a unique tool.
It combines a standard scraper with a tool that can shear scrape, some like to call this shear cutting as the cutter is slicing through the wood.
It can be used on spindle projects as well as bowl or faceplate projects.
It is available with a wooden handle….. or as a blade only to fit into an interchangeable handle system, such as the Robert Sorby Sovereign.

Great video. The best way to learn by watching the tools in action. Thank you.

I just received a excelsior French curve cutter and a teardrop cutter but sure of the right way to put them on my turn master Help!

Hi Dennis...The cutter has a relief angle from the cutting edge so please ensure that you have that underneath the cutting edge

I know this is a few years old now. I've just had this set for Christmas and despite watching the video I was surprised by how far away the tool rest needs to be, then, having positioned it where it needed to be I got a big catch so it's going to take a lot of practice to get the hang of the system. Now I've reviewed this and seen how you anchor the handle I'm hoping that helps. Is there any more advice on keeping the cutting end steady?

Hi Nicholas...having your back hand closer to the frint of the handle and the handle itself tucked between your forearm and body allows you to have total control of the tool and still move with your body rather than your arms
