The Robert Sorby Sovereign is a beautifully engineered and ergonomically designed interchangeable handle system that not only looks good but has the perfect feel and balance. Originally designed to address the demand for flexible handle lengths and provide alternative and practical tool storage options, the Sovereign has become a woodturning legend and industry benchmark. Its softex nonslip grip provides excellent comfort and stability, while four easily interchangeable collets ensure the majority of Robert Sorby’s vast turning tool range fit this agile system.

The SOV-C13 has the widest aperture for tools made from round section at ½" and is perfectly aligned to take ?" bowl gouges and fingernail bowl gouges, the ½" spindle gouge, fingernail spindle gouge and the long and strong spindle gouge as well as the TurnMaster. The Spiralling System and Texturing Tool also use this collet.
