> 3 dayI’m a relative newcomer to wood turning, and I’ve found that carbide tools really speed up the learning process. You don’t need a grinder or jigs, and with care, you can get a very fine finish. I do have a a set of traditional high speed steel tools I picked up used, but my Easy Wood Tools tools are my go-to choice for most uses. This particular tool is great for hollowing out vessels like vases that have a relatively large interior and small mouth. I’ll probably end up buying the other EWT hollowing tools as well.

> 3 dayGood hollowing tool. I had trouble with it at first because I was using lower RPM speeds on the lathe and trying to cut too aggressively with it which would result in my hollow form ending up off-center in the chuck. It sucks trying to hollow something that isnt perfectly centered and trying to re-center it. My best results with this tool have been taking lighter cuts at the fastest RPM that I can achieve safely. As soon as I feel the tool vibrate in my hand, I back off from cutting with it. Ive found that I can even hollow past the Maximum Overhang sticker at 4.5 and use the full length of the tool shaft (8.5) with ease. The tool is also good for small and delicate spindle work as well.

Greater than one weekThis thing just chews through a bowl blank. Used it on both dried and green wood and it makes short work of the inside of a bowl.

> 3 dayI use it for making boxes. Usual box dimensions are 1 - 3 inches by 4 inch high. Its very strong, stiff, light, and sharp. You wont find a better tool.

> 3 dayUsed this to turn travel mugs with, it significantly decreased the amount of time it took me to hollow the inside out. I am a little disappointed however that after one and a half mugs it seems to need to have the cutting edge replaced already hoped it would last a little longer.

> 3 dayMy new favorite tool. Wish I would have gotten this much sooner before the full size and mini finishers. If you use heavy bowl scrapers for final inside work like me, this one hollower is almost all you need. Use the extra money on cutters.
