Woodcut Bowlsaver Bowl Coring System

If you are hollowing out a large bowl, it is such a shame that all of the material being removed ends up on the workshop floor as shavings. The prospect of being able to produce a nest of bowls from one blank is a very attractive option and by using the Bowlsaver coring device this becomes a simple operation.
The Woodcut Bowlsaver is attached to the lathe via the lathe tool post and is also supported by a Morse taper that fits into the tailstock of the lathe (MT2). The Bowlsaver uses two curved blades to give a combination of cuts that will remove blanks from 75mm (3") up to 300mm (12") from the inside of the outer 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. It works very well on either seasoned or unseasoned timber and if turned unseasoned, the resulting bowl blanks can be put aside for seasoning and finishing at a later date. We would recommend a minimum power requirement of 1hp for using this system
