Robert Sorby Woodturning Demonstration Days
Inverness branch - Wednesday 17 March 2010 9am - 4pm
Elgin branch - Thursday 18 March 2010 9am - 4pm
Woodworking experts from Robert Sorby will be available throughout both days demonstrating the range of woodworking equipment available from Robert Sorby.
Sovereign is a new handle system for woodturners. Like all other Robert Sorby products it is made in Sheffield to the most exacting engineering standards.Sovereign is the name of the interchangeable handle which comes in two lengths - 16" and 22".
The handles are made of aluminium and alloy in combination to give the best of strength, balance and vibration dampening qualities. Each handle comes with a durable Softex grip for extra comfort. Additional knurling provides a further non-slip surface. Both handles will take turning chisels with a 5/8" diameter shaft. Also included are 3/8" and ½" collets to accept tools with those diameters thereby allowing the turner to use his Sovereign for a whole host of different chisels (Note: American-made tools are measured by bar diameter whilst European brands are measured by flute size. Hence the 3/8" collet is designed for a European ¼" gouge, and the ½" collet for a 3/8" gouge whilst the ½" gouge will fit directly into the handle ).The Sovereign handles and collet system are ideal for quick change from one tool to another. At the same time they enable the turner to lengthen or shorten the tool length.
There a several optional extras with the Sovereign System. Whilst the handles are beautiful balanced some turners like a bit of extra weight for control and hence there is a counterweight to fit both handles. For extra control a side handle is also offered. This can be used either on the side or top of the tool in use. For those requiring an even longer handle there is also a threaded coupler which enables the turner to fit two handles together for extra leverage.

1624-44 NOVA SERIES 8 SPEED CAST IRON LATHE
THIS YEARS BIG NEW PRODUCT IN THE U.S. (THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPETITIVE WOODTURNING MARKET IN THE WORLD) THE 1624-44 IS NOW READY FOR ITS UK LAUNCH!
Sharing many of the same components as the DVR-XP, the 1624-44 also shares the same heavy cast iron construction but at a very competitive price for this level of build quality.
Featuring a range of eight speeds from 178 to 3000rpm via a step pulley drive, the 1624-44 is one of the most versatile lathes available in its price bracket. The faster speeds are perfect for small work and finishing while the very low speeds make it ideal for turning large bowls and platters. Changing speeds is made extremely easy using the tried and tested cam action mechanism. The powerful 1.5HP motor is custom designed to take the stresses of a lathe drive and a large diameter spindle shaft ensures years of solid, trouble free operation.
The 1624-44 features an easy and positive swivel head with true 360º swivel. It can solidly lock in any position and quickly goes back into true alignment. This simple user friendly design feature is a great advantage - no more leaning over the bed and perfect for all bowl or free end turning, large or small. Rock solid stability and precision alignment ensuring stable and trouble free turning.
The lathe's versatility can be further increased if required with the addition of the optional outrigger accessory and bed extensions can be added to increase the distance between centres.
A large percentage of most turners requirements can be met even though this machine has the small footprint so often demanded by users with limited workshop space. The 1.5HP motor will provide plenty of power and torque for even the most ambitious turning projects.
