Easy Wood Tools Mid-Size Easy Hollower Tools #1

Mid-Size Easy Hollowers provide three profiles for opening a hollow form, shaping its sides and reaching beneath the rim. Select the profile for the area you need to reach.

Profile choices

• #1, straight: for initial hollowing in the centre of a vessel.
• #2, slightly curved: for working into the curved sides.
• #3, more curved: for reaching beneath the inside lip.

• #1: 22 1/2 in overall (approx. 572 mm); stainless steel bar 1/2 in square x 8 1/2 in long (approx. 12.7 x 12.7 x 216 mm).
• #2 and #3: 21 1/2 in overall (approx. 546 mm); stainless steel bar 3/8 x 3/4 in in section and 7 1/2 in long (approx. 9.5 x 19.1 x 191 mm).

Cutters and supply

Each selected tool has a Ci5 standard round carbide cutter fitted and includes a hex key. A Ci5-NR negative rake cutter is an optional replacement, sold separately.

Keep the bar flat on the tool rest, the tool parallel to the floor and the cutting edge at the centreline of the work. Rotate the cutter to an unused edge as needed, then replace it when the usable edges are worn.

For replacement cutters, match the cutter reference listed above with our Easy Wood Tools carbide cutters.
