Sorby Sizing Tool

This sizing tool, made by Robert Sorby, is designed to be used with a standard 3/8" beading tool for cutting critical sizes on repetitive turnings.

The diameter is set on the sizing tool and then the spindle stock is cut with backward and downward pressure on the beading tool to keep the tip in contact with the wood at all times. This produces accurate diameters without the need for calipers.

Die-cast body.
