Thereare many different sizes depend endingon the angle of the tool to the cutter angle ol-mssu-131510.asp?GF 1&gclid EAIaIQobChMIopbxop3u3wIVWbjACh3Yw9iEAQYASABEgI96vD BwE).INSTANT GALLERY: Small hollowing tools are good for adepth of 3”, going any deeper makes thecut too grabby. The smaller tool ismainly used for small items like Christmas ornaments. For larger vessels use a large boring barbecause your biggest problem is usuallyvibration as you try to reach further thanyou should over your tool rest with yourhollowing rig 13.pdf). A Steady Rest(https://www.pennstateind.com/store/LSR3.html) is used for longer vessels in order to stabilize the vessel from movingduring hollowing. A few of the membershave made their own.
