Spiralling and texturing tool part 2

Adding such decorations as spirals to turned pieces was once the domain of the privileged. Now you can venture into this field and create spirals to your hearts content. The Robert Sorby Spiralling System is a further development on the texturing tool and is used to create both left and right handed spirals with ease. It features an innovative rest with indexed reference positions, which enable the replication of the spirals. Differing pitch and twist profiles are made possible by altering the presentation angle of the cutter or by changing the cutter to a different one.
Spiralled pieces The texturing tool is part of the system as well as a graduated rest, 2mm, 4mm and 6mm spiralling cutters. There are 5mm and 11mm cutters available as optional extras. With these you can spiral goblets, candle holders, boxes, vases, bowls and spillikins.

Hello Sir,may I ask? is this how the checkering on early Thistletop knife handles were done? Like Green River or Roger's diamond checkering? Regards

[@robertsorbyengland]

The diamond style checkering is known as knurling in engineering terms and the Robert Sorby spiralling system replicates this when a left and right spiral are crossed over each other... If the checkering on the knife handles was done in a commercial way then it is quite possible then it was done in a similar way

[@aldenunion]

@@robertsorbyengland I noticed files and the cutter gouges for rifle checkering accomplish same task,but I could not imagine them spending all that time on each for such little charge so I figured must be some method as this for mass commercialized production.
Amazing what was lost through time,luckily are old school folk as yourself to remind us..Salute..
