Bowers Group has been a trusted partner of Robert Sorby for decades, assisting in perfecting its woodworking tools with precision measurement. With the help of a range of Moore & Wright handinstruments, the company has been able to achieve exceptional precision in its manufacturing operations.

Working at the heart of the UK’s steel and toolmaking industry since 1828, Robert Sorby has developed a global reputation for producing fine woodworking tools. All its tools are made with high-quality steel, which is hardened and tempered to its own specification. Polished flutes and hand-finished handles are typical hallmarks of the Robert Sorby brand.

The use of hand tools, particularly Moore & Wright instruments, plays a crucial role in Robert Sorby’s manufacturing processes. These hand and workshop tools ensure the precision and alignment of mating components, facilitating smooth assembly and improved product quality.

Mark Furniss, quality andtechnical engineer at Robert Sorby, says: “Moore & Wright hand tools are the backbone of precision and have been invaluable in the manufacture of our woodworking tools. With exceptional accuracy and reliability, these tools enable our craftsmen to create the finest-quality products that stand the test of time. Our partnership with Bowers Group is longstanding and the continued support from the team is second-to-none.”

The 1961M micrometer and 150mm digital calipers are among the most frequently used Moore & Wright hand tools at Robert Sorby. The micrometer measures the critical diameters of turned components, while the digital calipers perform length and depth measurements. Machining centre operators at Robert Sorby rely heavily on the digital calipers for their measurement needs.
