It is a quality product and Simon has provided quick and excellent support to all my questions. However, woodturning tools for hollowing equation tool comes with a high-speed steel cutter. My wife is in charge of the decoration in the house, can't take credit for the setting I am never happy with my work, but she finds ways to highlight them and use them around the house. Takes all the strain away from turning hollow and open forms. Moreover, if you get the right hollowing tool, your turning job becomes much safer too. Woodturning Carbide hollowing tools is an important thing needed for turning jobs.

Our Mini Hollowers are designed specifically for small hollow forms. At Their square-shaped tool bar design provides a shorter learning curve, too; the resultant parallel turning geometry means fewer catches and kick-backs overall.

Mini Hollowers are sold separately or in a three-piece, felt-lined kit in a clear acrylic slide box. Our high quality lathe turning tools make turning safer, faster, and more fun!

Whether you're a newbie or a pro, we have the best tools for your next project. Easy to use : Unlike traditional steel, our carbide-tipped tools are always held flat on the rest and parallel to the floor. No bevels, no vertical angles to worry about.

Short learning curve : Cut left, right, or straight on, and you're successfully and safely turning within minutes of picking up the tool. Our own carbide : We manufacture our carbide cutters using a proprietary recipe to make them the hardest, sharpest, and longest lasting in the business.

Lower cost of ownership : All you need is a lathe and an Easy Wood Tools turning tool and you can start making. You don't need to buy a grinding kit or sharpening system or multiple tools to achieve your desired result.

No sharpening : Never sharpen your tools again! When one side of the cutter gets dull, just rotate it to a new surface. When you've used all the sides, simply replace it with a new cutter. Safer : Our square tool bar design and resultant turning geometry means fewer catches and kick-backs. Unique Handle Design : Our unique handle design puts turning pressure into the tool rest so you don't tire as quickly, with two natural hand positions for greater comfort.

Handmade in America : Our team of highly skilled men and women use time-tested techniques and American-sourced woods, metal, and carbide to make our high quality tools. We focus only on turning : EWT sells ONLY turning tools and accessories, so we know how to make turning safer, easier, better, and more fun.

The Hope system is very well made. What I liked about it was you have a hand grip when hollowing. The base can be offset where center post is not directly between the ways. There is also a short articulating arm I'm hoping will give more mobility. One thing I wanted was a camera system being new to hollowing. Finally I also got the laser in addition to the camera. The laser has a power supply and not dependent on a battery.

I will use the laser until I get close and then switch to the camera. Reason is with the laser you are looking at the piece where with the camera you are looking at the screen and I feel with the camera you can get to the final thickness easier as you can see where the cutter is cutting at all times without adjustment.

I have just done one practice piece, but really like the system. Those carbide cutters make short work in removing material. I ordered directly from Simon Hope and I am very satisfied with the transaction.

It is a quality product and Simon has provided quick and excellent support to all my questions. On a side note I have been advised to get a 1" bar. Hope does not offer that size. When I was looking at systems I was strongly considering the Monster system. However when I just went to check out the bar and other options it say the site has not been renewed. Does anyone know if they are still providing products? Last edited: Jul 26, CA made me 4 cutter holders. The curved cutters are off center line but work fine in both the Jamison and Hope.

Cut a 1. Make a flat on the end of a straight and curved piece and tap for a bolt and attach scraper bits. Drill a hole in the ends of the other two and glue in cutters. I can easily work 12" deep with either and have not done anything deeper than 12" I use them mostly for hollowing forms up to 17" in diameter.

I am looking into the Elbo with the extension they offer as well as Bosch's stabilizer since it doesn't require additional stand, any recommendation? Regis Galbach. Camera, tv, and all articulating arm parts. I'm sure that it will fit any lathe, even my The jamieson system works great on short bed lathes.

I demo hollowing on short bed lathes fairly often because that is what some clubs own. I use a 2x6 a couple feet long. One end is bolted to the ways. The other end has a backrest screwed to it. I think Lyle sells an extension if you don't have a 2x6 The back rest can be quite flimsy and still work well. Did a demo a few months back on a jet vs using the Jamison.

Simon hope has a nice System. Turner position with this system is similar to that using the Jamison. With both the Jamison and the Hope the turner works between the hollow form Woodturning Tools For Hollowing Window and the support mechanism. I find this the most comfortable position for me. This makes them easy to use on full size lathes with good posture. The Regis Galbach home gown system similar working position.

With the Bosch system the turner works behind the support mechanism. This puts the support mechanism between me and the work which I don't care for.

Some people think it is more natural, I think it more awkward. This distinction is important. I know which I like. You need to know which you like. One big advantage of the jamieson is you can make the backrest from wood. A lot lighter to move around and with a little bit of the friction free plastic on the lower rail it is better than metal. What I like about the jamieson, hope and Bosch systems is that they will work with most hollowing bars.

Last edited: Sep 8, I emailed both Simon Hope and Lyle about compatibility with short bed. Haven't heard back. Simon states that you need 20" between the opening of the hollow form and the tip of the cutter.

Lyle's seems massive and as you said, I would need to build a stand for it as you said. I may look into that. Regis Galbach said:. Click to expand Fadi Zeidan said:. I use my Jamieson rig on short bed lathes by mounting the secondary tool rest on a wooden support that is off the lathe.

At first I didn't think it would work but it works just fine. It would probably work better if I attached it to the lathe with a board or something but it's worked well enough that I have never done that. Here is a photo. You have to look close but you can see the secondary tool rest is sitting in a wooden stand that isn't attached to the lathe.

Gerald Lawrence. You might want to look at the Elbo system by Tim Yoder. Complete system is and the extension that allows use on mini lathe is I have the regular and love. He also sells laser attachment but I already had the Ron Brown he sells. I've seen various hollowing systems used on mini lathes and they all work as far as I can tell. I've made a few hollowforms on my Jet mini lathe using just handheld hollowing tools Scrapers and hook tools which are cutting tools.

I think that these hollowing systems are great I have one for deep hollowing on my large Robust lathe Woodturning Tools For Sale Second Hand Vehicle where such a system is essential, but for a mini lathe, they aren't a necessity by any means.

However, they are nice to have and make the job of hollowing a bit easier on the back plus a laser or camera is another work saver on checking wall thickness. One downside of a hollowing rig is that you can't use a hook tool with them.

Most turners have never used a hook tool, but once you get past having earth shattering catches, they're really a pleasure to use. Personally, I feel like it would be good to make at least a couple hollowforms using handheld tools before considering getting a hollowing system. This helps develop ones tactile and intuitive feel for the hollowing process and would be advantageous even after getting a hollowing system.
