Ref: ProEdge
The ProEdge by Robert Sorby represents the ultimate system for sharpening your woodworking tools.Its unique design incorporates many years of experience in producing the keenest of edges accurately and efficiently.The ProEdge is the latest innovative product to come from Robert Sorby. It takes all the guesswork and effort out of sharpening all your woodworking tools bench, framing, carving and turning chisels, drill bits and plane irons as well as knives and garden tools.The ProEdge requires no complex assembly it can be plugged in and used straight from the box.One of the great challenges facing any woodworker is keeping a consistent bevel angle on their tools. With the ProEdge nothing is left to chance. The patented angle setter ensures that the same angle is achieved time after time. It incorporates a pre-set of all the most popular bevel angles 90º, 80º, 60º, 45º, 35º, 30º, 25º, 20º, 15º.This is a strong well engineered unit which can be located anywhere in the workshop.As the ProEdge largely replicates the tool sharpening system in the Robert Sorby factory it is not only tried and tested over many decades, it is also highly efficient and safe. Sharpening is carried out by means of a series of inexpensive abrasive belts - aluminium oxide for bench and carving chisels, knives and plane irons; zirconium for HSS turning tools, drill and router bits: ceramic for rapid heavy duty sharpening.Any changing of belts is a simple, straightforward task. Because of the composition of each belt, sharpening is extremely rapid and yet there is a professional, high quality finish. As the sharpening operation is quick, there isno fear of over-heating and consequently damaging the tools.To make sharpening even more accurate there is a series of accessories which can be fitted tothe ProEdge: a skew jig to give the correct presentation angle of turners skew chisels a square jig for presenting square tools at 90 degrees to the sharpening belt a gouge jig in the format of a vee block to prevent pivoting when sharpening a turners gouge a fingernail profiler to create swept back wings on a turners gouge a cutter holder to accept those small tool tips a rubberised honing wheel for the inside of gouges a pigtail mandrel, buffing mop and paste to add a highly polished finish to any tool a short platform enables easier access for miniature or worn toolsThis makes the ProEdge the most efficient, accurate sharpening system around.It comes with a full instruction manual. The ProEdge System (PE01) comes complete with two belts. Alternatively the ProEdge Plus(PED01) includes a skew jig, a gouge jig, fingernail profiler and three different belts.Technical specification:Motor : 1/2 hp (375w)Belt speed : 700 ft (220m) per minuteCE approved.

Ref: ProEdge-Jigs
The latest new product from Robert Sorby is the Knife Sharpening Jig for the ProEdge Sharpening System.The jig consists of all parts required to convert a ProEdge, a new back plate, raised wear plate, universal arm and knife holder. The kit includes instructions on fitting and should only take a few minutes to fit onto the ProEdge. It is available in two sizes, with a small knife holder for pocket knifes, carving knifes and blades up to 8" long and with a large knife holder for hunting knifes and blades over 8". The jigs are universal so a customer can buy the other knife holder to enable all sizes to be sharpened. The clamp on the knife holder has three screws, two clamping screws and a jacking screw to enable different thickness of blades to be safely held. The adjustable collar on the arm will allow different bevel angles to be sharpened from a steep angle for a woodcarving knife to a shallow angle for a fish filleting knife.

Ref: PESKEW
The first of these (ref. PESKEW) is the answer to most turners' prayer as it is angled at 60 degrees on both sides to give an accurate presentation of a skew chisel to the grinding wheel. This ensures both repeatability and consistency for the one of the tools which causes almost every hobbyist turner a headache.
Ref: PEVB
This is a vee-shaped jig (PEVB) into which is suitable for holding any round tool especially standard profile turning gouges - whether bowl, spindle or roughing - which always represent a challenge to sharpen free hand.
Ref: PESQ
(PESQ) allows presentation of the tool at 90 degrees to the wheel. That makes it ideal for sharpening not only the woodturner's square scrapers but also his parting tools. For the cabinet maker this jig offers the further, very real advantage of ensuring his bench chisels are sharpening in a consistent fashion
Ref: PELGJ
Jig used in conjunction with Proset, see belowUsing the long grind jig on the fingernail profiler or the Deluxe Universal sharpening system allows for three different types of profile to be produced on bowl and spindle gouges. It will produce a fingernail profile, a long grind and an extra long grind depending on which location hole the profile arm is used.It fits onto the bar in replacement of the original fingernail jig that is standard on either of the two sharpening systems and is used in exactly the same way but with the three options.
Ref: PROSET
Achieving the exact bevel angle on any fingernail or long grind gouge has never been easier than with the Robert Sorby Proset.By placing the gouge into the clamp of the profile arm and then extending the gouge up-to the required stop and locking it into place will allow for precise and repeatable bevel angles to be obtained.

Also available are three new Trizact belts for sharpening and finishing all types of knife. A Trizact structured belt is different to other abrasive belts. Being arranged in an open form the abrasive allows for a rapid cut, with greater resistance to clogging which in turn means much less friction creating a cooler cut and extended belt life. These new belts are also suitable for sharpening high speed steel turning tools and carbon steel edge and carving tools.Trizact A30 Belt (approx 600 grit). Arranged in a brick pattern to give quick and efficient sharpening from a 240 grit Aluminium Oxide belt.Trizact A16 Belt (approx 1200 grit). Arranged in a pyramid pattern to give a fine finish from the 600 grit belt.Trizact A6 Belt (approx 3000 grit).

Texturing.Woodturner Tracy Owen has won many prizes with his textured bowls. The new Robert Sorby texturing tool allows every woodturner to share his secrets by giving his work that added value and individuality which these effects bring. The texturing tool enables the turner to alter the visual and tactile qualities of a work piece by creating striations, whorls, and orange peel effect and more. Let your imagination run wild. Fitted with an interchangeable cutter, the texturing tool is just as effective on soft wood as hard woods - although the results can be markedly different.Spiralling. Creating barley twists, spirals and flutes has always represented a problem for the woodturner. The Spiralling System not only overcomes many of these difficulties, but also allows the turners imagination to run wild as he enters a new field of decoration. Based on the same principle as the texturing tool, it is simple to use even in the hands of a novice - but still comes with instructions and ideas on its further use. The built-in rest allows the work to be approached at a variety of angles - graduations on the rest ensure repeatability. The degree of off-set determines the pitch of the spiral. Another variation is introduced with the addition of 3 different cutters which can be used for texturing. From these the turner can either produce, amongst other work, fine spirals of a delicate goblet or heavy patterns on boxes, spindles or candlesticks.
Ref: MICRO-System
Robert Sorby continues to lead the way with woodworking tool innovation with the introduction of the all new Micro tool system.

There are 4 separate tools available:Micro SandmasterMicro Spindle SetMicro Spiralling ToolMicro Hollowing SetThe main benefit of this system is that the woodturner can buy just one of the above sets which include the modular handle and then add any of the other sets to complement their collection.

The introduction of the micro Sandmaster comes from an increased interest by woodturners of producing smaller, more delicate work.This system uses the same free spinning technology as the existing Robert Sorby Sandmaster but utilises a 1" (25mm) foam pad, onto which can be fitted the 1" (25mm) Velcro style abrasive discs.The position of the head can be adjusted so those awkward-to-get-at spots can be sanded.The micro Sandmaster comprises of an aluminium handle, micro Sandmaster head, 1" (25mm) foam pad and eight abrasive discs, two of each of the 120, 180, 240 and 400 grits , two Allen keys and an instruction leaflet.

Ref: Hollowing
This handy set is ideal for the turner producing miniature boxes or hollow forms. It utilises the same anodised aluminium handle as the other micro set.With the introduction of a specifically designed micro boring tool for initial waste removal, a micro swan neck hollowing tool and a micro round nose scraper, this hollowing set gives the woodturner the ability to hollow out delicate vases.
