Kirsten EV Tool Post This new tool post design allows you to not only register a fixed pivot location, but still easily slide in and out. The Kirsten Tool Post is very simple; providing an inexpensive tool support with a known pivot as a reference. Now you can concentrate on what you think is happening inside the EV and knowing exactly where you are. The Kirsten Tool Post is composed of a rigidly welded “L” bar inserted into the lathe banjo and leveled just under the centerline of the Enclosed Vessel by adjusting the locking collar and fixing it tight.

San Diego Woodturners Page 21 March 2013 HOLLOW-PRO “ROCKET” Tools blast the wood out of small hollow vessels! Designed by professional woodturner Mike Jackofsky and manufactured in the USA by the Hunter Tool Company, these tools feature a unique negative angle built into the tip. They have been specifically designed to use the Hunter carbide cutters; the negative angle makes the carbide less aggressive and easier to control. HOLLOW-PRO ROCKET tools are professional, fast and efficient hollowing tools for making hollow vessels up to about 7" high x about 7" diameter. These 8" tools have 3/8" shafts to allow hollowing through very small, restricted openings. The tools use replaceable #1 size carbide cutters and are designed to fit into any large handle with a 3/8" or ½" opening. (Tip: place the screws from these handles on the side or top of the tools, so the bottom will slide smoothly on the tool rest) The round shafts of these tools can be rotated slightly to make clean “shear” cuts and the bent tool is also very useful for undercutting the openings on larger hollow vessels. Set of one straight and one bent tool includes replaceable Hunter #1 carbide cutters for clean cuts and durability, and a Torx wrench for rotating and replacing the cutters as needed. Notes On Use of Hollow-Pro Tools STRAIGHT TOOL: The Hollow-Pro Tools 3/8" ROCKET straight tool is a very versatile and efficient tool that can be used to remove wood quickly and easily from hollow vessels and open bowls. It also works very well for hollowing out boxes. BENT TOOL: The Hollow-Pro Tools 3/8" ROCKET bent tool was designed to hollow vessels up to about 7" in diameter, but is also intended to be used on larger pieces as well. By using the smaller tool to undercut the first portion of larger vessels the tool rest is closer, resulting in a cleaner cut and greater control. The larger Hollow-Pro Tools bent tools can then be used to continue hollowing pieces up to about 14-15" diameter. IMPORTANT: The tool rest height should be adjusted so that when the tool is held straight (parallel to the bed of the lathe) the tip is cutting at the center line of the turning. For less aggressive cuts, raise the handle slightly. Avoid lowering the handle, as that will raise the cutter tip and could result in a very aggressive angle of cut. Mike recommends holding the handle against your body and practicing with the tools on an open bowl before using them on a hollow vessel. TIP: To avoid stripping out the Torx screws, make sure you clean them out before tightening or loosening them, so the wrench can seat properly. An airgun and/or a sharp pointed object like a dental pick or a safety pin, works well. For more info e-mail Mike at: info@mikejackofsky.com or Visit Mike’s Web site: www.mikejackofsky.com Please wear safety glasses and follow all safety rules of woodturning. These tools are aggressive hollowing tools and should be used by or under the supervision of experienced turners. Copyright 2008, 2009, 2010 Mike Jackofsky All Rights Reserved
