The introduction of carbide tipped wood turning tools has greatly simplified wood turning.
The Simple Swan Neck Hollower™ can be used with a the interchangable handle, the hollowing system or your custom made handle.
This is the tool of choice to clean out the material inside a hollow form vessel after as much material as possible is removed with straight shaft tools. Both beginners and experts alike will appriecate how simple it is to complete hollow forms with this tool.
With Simple Wood Turning Tools™ it’s all turning and no sharpening so your time is spent turning not sharpening. Gone forever is the long learning curve where precise angles and special tool presentation techniques must be mastered. Also gone is the need to become an expert tool sharpener. When the carbide cutter on this tool finally loses its edge simply loosen the screw and rotate the cutter. This will expose a new cutting surface and you\'re off to turning once again.
To use the Simple Swan Neck Hollower™ with a hollowing system follow these simple steps.
- Mount the tool in the hollowing system tool holder.
- Position the tool rest as close to the work as possible.*
- Adjust the tool rest height so the cutter is at the vertical center line of the lathe.
- Adjust the rear support on the hollowing system so the tool is parallel with the lathe bed. Recheck the position of the cutter to make sure it\'s the vertical center line of the lathe.
- Carefully move the tool into the vessel and hollow out the portion that can not be reached with your straight shaft tools.
*With this tool mounted in the hollowing system the curved portion of the tool can be in contact with the tool rest. Rotational forces are absorbed by the hollowing system so that\'s not a concern as it is when this tool is used in a handle.
To use the Simple Swan Neck Hollower™ with a handle follow these simple steps.
