Our 3/4″ High Speed Steel Hollowing Tools are great for your hollowing needs up to about 12″ deep. Each tool comes ready to go with a sharp High Speed Steel 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, no set screws to strip out, 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.

Overall Length of Tool: 19.5″ / Approximate Hollowing Depth: 12″

Instructions for use included.

    Works great at 1 1- 12 inches got some chatting but did a great job.

  2. Steve Stromstad (verified owner)

    Great tools.

  3. Donald Marcum

    Top quality tools.

  4. Robert Wyle (verified owner)

    I finally got around to using these tools and turned a hollow form and was really happy with how it turned out. It was my first hollow form and the combination of the video, the stabilizer, and the hollowing tools really helped me to learn and hit the ground running.

    The tools really cut well and are easy to sharpen. The stabilizer is easy to set up and put into practice. It felt like learning to hollow with training wheels. I used the laser toward the end in steps 5 and 6 produce a consistent thickness throughout the hollow form without going through the wall.

    The one thing that would have been nice would have been to receive additional instruction for the laser. The video only covered the Visualizer

  5. Timothy Mehring

    Well constructed.

  6. Tony Klepic (verified owner)

    I’ll give the HSS steel cutters a 4. I can hollow much easier and faster than using carbide, ring, cup, or other hollowing cutters. The only downside has been trying to sharpen them, but I am new at it so I am sure I’ll get better and more confident.

  7. Jay (verified owner)

    Used all three on my first project with them.

  8. Anonymous (verified owner)

    Excellent

    Glad you are enjoying the tools. Sharpening the tips can take a little bit of time to get used to, but it is worth it. Here is a short video that might give you a few tips and tricks on how to sharpen with confidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0tiVBieiSY

    Excellent tools for hollowing

  11. Norman Marentette (verified owner)

    Excellent set of tools!

  12. Frank R.

    I’m somewhat new to turning but I have jumped in to the deep end (pun intended) with large hollow forms. These are my first large hollowing tools and I couldn’t be happier. I have turned several 8-12” deep vessels with them already. Looking forward to ordering the Stabilizer!

    I reached out and got some advice directly from Trent to help dial in what tools vs my experience thus far and what I was hoping to accomplish. He was super responsive and very helpful and encouraging.

    The tools themselves are solid high quality and I will be back later as I keep making forms for more sizes and maybe the laser or visualizer.

    I also had a lathe they hadn’t outfitted before. The Harvey T60 and they sent me an and email guided me through what dimensions they needed to customize everything to my lathe. Everything fit great, and it was super easy!

    It took a while to get the sharpening down but once you get that sorted out its just a very smooth and efficient way to hollow out.

  15. Dave Youngren

    great heavy made tools

  16. Fred Hughes (verified owner)

    Nice design and efficient cutters. The shape of the curve and shank helps to lessen vibration.

  17. Guenther H. (verified owner)

    Works as advertised. Fast shipping

  18. Cameron H.

    Wow!
    I used these tools to hollow out a big piece of wood. I live in Japan and the tools were shipped quickly and came sharp and ready to use.
    I have a tool addiction and want more tools.
    Recommend to anyone wanting to make hollow forms.
    A big thank you from Cam’s Woodshop!

  19. Rita Bremer (verified owner)

    There is a learning curve, but so far so good

  20. James Kenyon (verified owner)

    Very impressed over the quality of the tools and how well they work.

  21. Tony M. (verified owner)

    I’ve cut my hollowing time in half with these tools and I’m just using them by hand, I have not purchased the stabilizer yet, which I will be getting. The quality of these tools are second to none, the resources portion on the website has been helpful with sharpening my new tools, would recommend to anyone.

  22. Nino (verified owner)

    So far so good. I have not used the extra bent yet. I’d like another handle to save time – although it easy enough to swap them out. Mostly I like the weighted long handle’s superior control. I need to get on of the extra extra extra extra extra long handles too! My only thought, and I’m not a metallurgists, is I don’t understand the superglue to hold the tip. I have not had to change it yet but why not a set screw?

  23. Jacob B. (verified owner)

    This tool is extremely efficient and well designed. The HSS cutter stays sharp a lot longer than I expected, even when turning wood/resin. Only takes a few seconds to touch up on the grinder. I’ll be buying a smaller set also.

  24. Joe (verified owner)

    Excellent, well thought out design, very pleased with performance

  25. Roger D. (verified owner)

    Great quality!

  26. Ric W. (verified owner)

    Well, not much to say. It’s just like all the other hollowing tools I’ve bought here. Nothing flashy, not high tech, no space age materials, no drama, but, they are simply the best! Easy to use, easy to sharpen, great prices, made & sold by great people. What are you waiting for? Get that order in! Collect ’em all, trade’ em with your friends!

  27. Dave C. (verified owner)

    the set is solid. The handle makes it easy to control
