The Robert Sorby Sovereign Tang Collet Flat Adaptor has been designed to hold many of the chisels without handles.
The insert takes brass tipped grub screws to securely hold the various chisels against the flat bottom of the insert. This gives the ability to use a wide variety of chisels in the longer Sovereign handle, which can also be weighted if the user desires. Using the same handle can give a familiar feel providing extra confidence to the turner.
Tools that fit this collet include:
- Square end scrapers,
- Hardwood scrapers,
- Round nose scrapers,
- Diamond/side scrapers,
- Curved scrapers and box scrapers,
- Oval and standard skews,
- Standard and fluted parting tools
- Spindle and continental roughing gouges.
