Our 5/8″ Carbide Hollowing Tools are great for your hollowing needs up to about 8″ deep. Each tool comes ready to go with a carbide tip. When worn out, tips are easy to replace, replacement tips can be found here.

A little bit about our Hollowing Tools: Our hollowing tools were designed by a woodturner for woodturners, not by a manufacturer who has never used a lathe before. The narrow profile of the tool near the tip provides superior clearance and control. This also allows you to hollow longer before needing to clear out the shavings, speeding up the process. Our hollowing tools do not have swivel tips to get in the way, and tips are easily replaced. Not all bent tools are created equally. Our bent hollowing tools are designed so that the cutter is located on center with the shaft of the tool. This eliminates the rotary torque often associated with the hollowing process as long as you keep the tool rest behind the bent part of the tool. Trent uses these tools to teach the hollowing process to hundreds of students each year.  Each tool is made by us in Fort Collins, Colorado USA.

These Carbide Hollowing Tools use a Hunter #1 carbide cutter.  Cutter and torx wrench included.

Overall Length of Tool: 15″ / Approximate Hollowing Depth: 8″

    works well aggressive (as noted on website) and the bent tool is harder to set flat on the toolbar.

    I bought these tool to be used with Trent’s hollowing system in the near future. I turned a couple hollow for and was surprised to how good the carbide cutters are. The cut wood like there is no tomorrow.

    I was looking for a good starter set that did not cost an exorbitant amount amount of money. I researched the blog sites and YouTube videos for cost recommendation for a size starting my adventure in hollowing and hit upon Trent Bosch tools and decided to order the 5/8″ set with the rest and later setup also. I ran out of funds I wish I could have ordered the depth finder hopefully some time later this year I will be the proud owner of them.

    I purchased the 3 piece carbide hollowing set with handle, straight tool and hook tool. I am happy with the purchase, but I have not had a chance to use the tools yet. I can say they were packaged well, promptly shipped, good value compared to alternatives I looked at, and they appear well made. I like the ability to get spare cutters. Up to now, I’ve only used shop-made high-speed steel tools for hollowing. I am looking forward to my first hollow form with the carbide cutters. Also want to say that Trent does an awesome job in his demos, which prompted to get this set.
