Our Wood Turning Hollowing Tool is made from 5/8's cold rolled steel and is offered in two configurations; one designed for the lathe running in forward rotation and one for the lathe rotating in reverse. Our Wood Turning Hollowing Tool is made with an outrigger to counteract rotational forces and comes with an adjustable thickness gauge to give a visual representation of wall thickness. In addition to an ergonomic and user friendly design, the hollowing tool comes with an adjustable M42 HSS scraper. The cutter is easily removable for sharpening and pivots to reach under moderately wide hollow form shoulders. The D-Way Hollowing Tool allows for a more comfortable position at the lathe.
Frequently asked question...Why do some folks like turning in reverse? Answer - It's a matter of personal preference. Some people find reverse more natural. If you own a swan neck tool or any tool that you can reverse the cutter, you could experiment with that. That would give you some feel for it. Your elbow tends to be closer to the body in reverse. Try standing in from of your lathe and go through the motions you would use to hollow. Whichever way feels better is your answer. - Jimmie
***Choose from Lathe Rotation Forward or Lathe Rotation Reverse

I made my first hollow form with this tool. I ordered the reverse tool and it was very intuitive to use. I'm glad I ordered the sharpening jig because the wood I was turning was very hard and I needed to keep the cutter sharp at all times. I followed Dave's advice and turned my banjo 180 also to present more of the tool rest.

This tool is great! It is easy to use, and is better than expected. Only reason I did not rate it with 5 stars is because of operator error resulting in too frequent unpleasant catches on the bottom curve of my hollow forms. Strongly recommend buy the sharpening Widget also.

It's easy to use, does a smooth job and you can't beat the price. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a top quality hollowing tool without spending much more for a tool that does the same thing but may be harder to master.
