Manufactured from high grade aluminium these knurled grip, anodized handles for Robert Sorby?s modular micro system are available in two sizes. The larger 7 3/4? version adds more leverage and grip for those preferring to work a little further from the project workpiece. The Modular Micro Handle 5 3/4? (888) is also available as a separate item and comes as standard in a range of modular sets.
