Hollow Turning Tools…from David Ellsworth

I designed these tools to turn hollow forms up to about 9" high and 10" diameter. The cutting tips are 10% Cobalt high speed steel, and held into the shafts with Super-Glue so there's no set screw to corrode or clog with dust…simply heat with a propane torch to remove and replace the tips.

Each tool comes with an extra tip and instructions for tip replacement and sharpening. Also included are suggestions for turning the handles for good balance, how to use the tools, and the do's and don't's of turning inside a hollow form. In addition, my "T" Tape, listed in the video section, gives a complete visual description of how to use these tools…plus much more information on hollow turning.

Hundreds of students in my woodturning school have used these tools. Also, I make these tools totally by myself, so I'm confident they're both functional and versatile. In fact, these are the primary hollowing tools I use on my own work.

Set of two tools: $64.95, plus shipping and handling.
