At one time the spiralling was a technique only practiced by advanced turners. Now turners of nearly any skill level can create spirals to their hearts content using the Sorby 320 Spiralling Tool. A further development of Sorby's texturing tool, the spiraling tool can be used to create both left and right handed spirals, barley twists, rope effects, flutes, and even checkered patterns with ease. The innovative rest on the tool has indexed reference positions, which enable the replication of the spirals. Differing pitch and twist profiles are made possible by altering the presentation angle of the cutter or by changing the cutter to a different one. Tool has an 11" long ash handle and is approximately 16" long overall. Spiralling Tool: Includes the Spiralling Tool with graduated rest; 4mm spiralling cutter; and an instruction sheet. England Note: Additional spiralling and texturing cutters available separately.
