Easy Wood Tools Mid-Size Easy Hollower #1 (6601) Hollowing Woodturning Tool

My wife turns small things on her lathe and kept borrowing my Easy Wood Tools hollower. So, I bought one for her. Thats how much I like this tool.

These tools are fantastic.

excellent tool, great design, easy to use even for beginners

Easy Wood has made several hollowing tools that enhance my wood turning capabilities while, at the same time making wood turning easier. The carbide tipped blades are also easy to work with. Great addition to my wood shop.

My new favorite tool. Wish I would have gotten this much sooner before the full size and mini finishers. If you use heavy bowl scrapers for final inside work like me, this one hollower is almost all you need. Use the extra money on cutters.

Good hollowing tool. I had trouble with it at first because I was using lower RPM speeds on the lathe and trying to cut too aggressively with it which would result in my hollow form ending up off-center in the chuck. It sucks trying to hollow something that isnt perfectly centered and trying to re-center it. My best results with this tool have been taking lighter cuts at the fastest RPM that I can achieve safely. As soon as I feel the tool vibrate in my hand, I back off from cutting with it. Ive found that I can even hollow past the Maximum Overhang sticker at 4.5 and use the full length of the tool shaft (8.5) with ease. The tool is also good for small and delicate spindle work as well.

This little tool did a great job hollowing Christmas ornaments (bells), just as I had been told.

I use it for making boxes. Usual box dimensions are 1 - 3 inches by 4 inch high. Its very strong, stiff, light, and sharp. You wont find a better tool.

I have enjoyed all of the Easy Wood tools, but didnt have any of the hollowing tools. I saw how nicely this tool worked in a number of videos. Bought one and sure enough it worked just as nicely as it did for some of my favorite turners. I LOVE this new addition to my tools!

if your shopping for a hollowing tool this is it,,the cutter is small and that is what you want,,i have the simpliticy and it is nowhere in the same class,,,dont be fooled with others product that has a larger cutter,,,i use this tool not only for hollowing but to provide a finish cutl,,lol,,dont like to sand,,,THIS IS THE BEST,,,,update on this review,,i had a hickory bowl I had roughed out about a year ago waiting for it to dry out,,and today which is the 30th I went out to turn it round,,i used the conventional tools to get it round,,,then I finished up with this tool,,it was amazing what finish I got,,,inside and outside,,set your tool rest about an inch from your work and feed the tool across it slow and you can start sanding at 220 grit,,if your sitting on the fence debating if it worth it,,,i can tell you now it is,,,ohhhh and my cutter is old,,,AMAZING TOOL!!!!
