Multi Tip Hollowing Tool
16
The Multi-tip hollowing tool is a Robert Sorby legend and a must-have
for every turner’s collection. Its massive half round shank and
interchangeable cutters make this a solid and sturdy tool
capable of multiple applications.
The tool is available in three formats: The RS200KT and RS100KT
are available with and without a handle (for unhandled versions
ask for the SOV-RS200 and SOV-RS100 respectively). A larger
SOV-RS300 is offered as an unhandled version only.
Each tool comes with three high speed steel (HSS) cutting tips. Optional
cutters are available in our high performance Excelsior range. These cutters
are HSS with a titanium nitride plasma bonded coating and offer a significantly
longer cutter lifespan.
A further five HSS cutters are available for the RS200KT, SOV-RS200 and SOV-RS300 adding
beading, coving, recessing and dovetailing to the tools’ repertoire.

FOR HOLLOWING
Unlike other systems, when used for hollowing,
the RS200KT is used with the flat section on
the tool rest. This eliminates the rocking and
rolling often associated with hollowing and puts
the turner firmly in control.

For the rapid opening up of an aperture or for
creating a crisp corner in the base of boxes use
the RS212C hollowing tip. If a gentler sweeping
curve is required, for example, in the bottom
of vases, the RS211C’s curved cutting edge is
more suitable. To under-cut rims of bowls, for
example, offset the cutter. Both tips (RS212C
and RS211C) are available in our Excelsior,
titanium nitride range.

FOR FINISHING
Fit the medium teardrop HSS cutter (RS200C)
and turn the tool into a highly efficient multi-
faceted scraper. The shape of the scraper
cutter converts the tool into a round, half-round
or square scraper suitable for use on the inside
and outside of bowls, platters and hollow forms.
Use the flat surface of the shank on the tool
rest to scrape in conventional mode. For shear
scraping, turn the tool round laying the half
round section of the shank at 45° on the tool
rest. The RS200C is also available in high
performance Excelsior series (RS200GC).
