Description
Our 1/2″ Carbide Hollowing Tools are great for your hollowing needs up to about 6″ deep. Each tool comes ready to go with cup style Hunter #1 cutter and T9 Torx Wrench. When worn out, tips are easy to replace, replacement tips can be found here.
Why choose our Carbide Hollowing Tools?
- Designed to be used by hand or with the Stabilizer.
- Cup style Hunter #1 carbide tips are rotatable to get a new fresh edge, and replaceable when worn out.
- Narrow profile for superior access and control – allows you to hollow longer before needing to clear out the shavings.
- Not all bent tools are created equally. Our Bent and Extreme Bent 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 .
- Designed by a woodturner for woodturners and made in our Fort Collins, Colorado shop.
Why choose Carbide? No need to sharpen, just rotate the tip for a fresh edge. The cutting edge lasts a very long time and creates a nice shaving with a clean cut. This can be both good and bad. A clean cut is easier to sand and clean up, however removing longer shavings through a small opening can be challenging.
Important note about our Carbide Hollowing Tools: Depending on the material that you are cutting, we recommend rotating the tool/cutter towards the wood anywhere between 5-15 degrees. When used straight up the carbide tips can become aggressive (especially in harder woods).
Overall Length of Tool: 13″ / Approximate Hollowing Depth: 6″
Don’t forget a handle. We recommend a 16″ Handle, like our Blue Super Tool Handle (included in a “Super Set”).

I originally purchased the 5/8″ hollowing tools when I bought Trent’s Stabilizer system. I really like it but I have found that they are a little large for getting into most of the hollow vessels I make, so I recently purchased the 1/2″ set. They work great. I went with the carbide tipped set and am very pleased with the way they cut. In addition to the 1/2″ set of hollowing tools, I purchased a 1/2″ bent radius scrapper to smooth out the inside. It works great at smoothing out the inside of vessels. I am very pleased with all the Trent Bosch tools I have purchased.

The Trent Bosch carbide hollowing tools are the best of breed. The cup carbide cutters used by Trent really CUT the wood. The flat carbide cutters on cheap Chinese and expensive US made carbide tools are just scrappers. They make a mess.

The hollowing tools, 1 straight, 1 shallow curve and 1 handle, arrived on time and were very well packaged. The tools are obviously of quality construction. The only reason I did not give a 5 is because I have not yet been able to use them.
