ROBERT SORBY STEBCENTRES

 

These revolutionary wood lathe drives an essential addition to every turner's toolkit.
Available in 1/2", 7/8" and 1.1/4" head in No1 and No2 morse taper and 1.1/4" head in No3 morse taper.
Their design incorporates not just a spring loaded point in stainless steel but also a set of razor sharp teeth which bite into the workpiece. For the novice turner this offers added security. 

By winding in the tail stock the degree of bite can be varied and the centre point firmly located.  In case of a dig-in the workpiece simply stops revolving rather than kick back the turning chisel. This allows the beginner to use his skew chisel with a degree of confidence.

The degree of bite which the Stebcentre creates allows for much more demanding than would normally be expected from a conventional drive. 

There is the added benefit for the production turner of allowing the workpiece to be removed without the need to stop and re-start the lathe. Simply wind back the tail stock and the piece can be withdrawn safely.

STEB DRIVE
The original Stebcentre has been developed in two directions. The first is the Steb Drive which fits neatly in most four-jaw scroll chucks. It was originally designed to fit the Supernova chuck but by default fits most others available today. The Steb Drive eliminates the need to remove the chuck each time the turner wishes to use his Stebcentre.

REVOLVING STEBCENTRE
A revolutionary idea of using a revolving live centre with the head of a Stebcentre. This allows for basic off-centre work to be achieved, such as carbriolet candlesticks as well as multi-sided boxes and even small multi-sided bowls when used in conjunction with an original Stebcentre or the new Steb Drive.
