Robert Sorby Swan Neck Hollowing Tools

The individual shape of these Swan Neck Hollowing tools makes them suitable for blind turning or under cutting where reach is restricted. The 14" version (851H) is designed for end grain use on shallower depth projects whilst the slightly larger 20" model (855H) allows for greater reach. The 23" version (859H) is produced from a more substantial section steel, and is more suitable for both end grain and side grain working. These tools are used with the round bar directly behind the swan neck (curved area) against the tool rest. Both 851H and 855H can be used in conjunction with wall thicknessing gauges. Cutting tip is resharpenable.
