Description The Robert Sorby modular range of tools was devised following the success of their Sovereign system. This miniature version is centred on two sizes of aluminium handle in to which a series of micro tools can be easily fitted. This gives the turner the option of extra flexibility as they build up their own collection of the custom-built tools that fit this system. The system is available in seven formats or sets (with blades and attachments all being available individually). The pinnacle of these is the new Micro Modular 18 piece box set which encompasses the entire system. The others are combinations of this system and include the 12 blade set which is a rolled in one version of the Pen Set, Hollowing Set, and the Spindle Set, which are also available as individual sets too. Other options are offered too – the Spiralling Set and the popular Sandmaster kit. These tools are all scaled down versions of popular full sized models and give the turner greater control of projects in miniature. The 18 piece Modular Micro Set contains the following items: 888 – Aluminium Handle 888/2 – Micro 1/2″ (13mm) Spindlemaster 888/1 – Micro 1/2″ (13mm) Roughing Gouge 888/3 – Micro 1/16″ (2mm) Parting Tool 888/4 – Micro 1/2″ (13mm) Gouge 888/5 – Micro 5/32″ (4mm) Beading & Parting Tool 888/6 – Micro Boring Tool 888/7 – Micro Swan Neck Hollowing Tool 888/8 – Micro 1/4″ (6mm) Skew 888/9 – Micro Round Nose Scraper 888/10 – Micro Curved Undercut Scraper 888/11 – Micor French Curve Scraper 888/12 – Micro Diamond Undercut Scraper 888/0 – Micro Sandmaster Tool Unhandled 370/0 – Micro Spiralling Tool Unhandled 867 – Spindle Gouge 1/4″ (6mm) 868 – Micro Shear Scraper 873 – Hollowing Tool 875 – Round Skew
