Product Details
Robert Sorby 9in External Bowl Rest
The external bowl rest is a curved crossbar toolrest shaped to follow the outside profile of a bowl, keeping the tool supported close to the cut instead of reaching across a gap. It’s a 9in crossbar for Sorby’s modular toolrest system, and this is the last of our stock.
Why Robert Sorby
Robert Sorby has been engineering turning equipment in Sheffield since 1828, and the modular toolrest system reflects that same practical approach — one stem, a range of crossbars, each shaped for a different job at the lathe.
Specs
- 9in curved crossbar

At the Lathe
Set close to the work, this external bowl rest keeps the tool supported all the way around the outside curve of a bowl, which cuts down on tear-out and makes finishing cuts more controlled. It’s a rest we point students toward in our woodturning courses, and it belongs with the rest of our turning tools.
Limited Stock — While It Lasts
This is the last of our Robert Sorby external bowl rest stock, and once it’s sold the listing closes for good. No restock is coming, so grab it while stocks last.
