Tool Rest Adjustment Collar

The Robert Sorby TRAC is the perfect addition for every woodturner.

A common problem for every Woodturner whilst turning, is that when a new height position is required, and the locking handle is released, the tool rest drops, and the position is lost.

The new Robert Sorby TRAC allows the tool rest height to be easily adjusted up or down, by up to 1/2” / 13mm, by just turning the outer adjustment ring. The TRAC ensures the tool rest stays at the personally set height, even when the tool rest locking handle is released, allowing the tool rest to be moved to a new position without the need to reset the height prior to locking into place. The Acetal seating disc allows the TRAC to operate smoothly and easily.

The Robert Sorby TRAC is available in nine sizes, to suit the standard tool rest stem of most lathes, as well as the full range of stems from the Robert Sorby modular tool rest system. The inner rings are colour coded for ease of recognition to fit the required stem diameter.
