<p>Woodcut Tools is a small family owned business with over 30 years experience. Designed by turners, for turners. Made in New Zealand. </p><p>When purchasing a Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver everything is included to start coring ​bowls from 3" to 12", safely and easily for all skill levels. Other bowl coring systems seem cheaper but after buying all the required blades & parts they are much more costly. A comprehensive user guide is included as well as a template pattern to determine bowl depth. Demo videos available on You Tube. <p>The Bowlsaver couples to the lathe via the tool post and is the only coring system which is also supported by a Morse taper that fits into the tailstock of the lathe. (#2 Morse taper provided, however a #1 Morse taper can be supplied FOC separately). The design gives a solid support and reduces vibration. </p><p>The Bowlsaver will fit almost all lathes large and small, from 12" to 16" swing with 1HP and up. <p>1" TOOL POST INCLUDED which is the most common size - If it does not fit with your lathe simply order a tool post separately, ensure it has a 1/2" UNF thread.  Woodcut Tools have suitable tool posts available on Amazon. Please contact us should you require assistance with this. (Please note the tool post was not previously supplied, hence comments below) </p><p>The Bowlsaver has two blades, which are used one at a time.  The blades give a combination of cuts that will remove blanks from 3” up to 12” from the inside of the mother bowl. The depth that the blades will go into the wood can be adjusted from zero up to 130mm (5"). This, in essence, will remove a bowl 300mm (12") x 130mm (5") from the outer bowl. The replaceable Stelite cutters come sharp and ready to start coring. To re sharpen simply lightly sharpen with a Credit Card Hone also sold on Amazon, or similar. </p> The Bowlsaver comes with a handle which can also easily be used for any 1/2" dia. tools.
