I am in search of a deep hollowing tool or system and would like to get some input. I already have the Sorby multi tip tool and now would like to go beyond it's depth limits. First off I am aware of the Lyle Jamieson system but I am afraid it may be somewhat limiting because of the secondary rest that holds the end of the looped boring bar; how about some input on that? Does anyone have experience with the Kelton hollowing rig or the Reeks system; they are other capture type hollowing systems. I like what I have read about the Hamlet Little/Big Brother tools using a ring cutter, though there are also tools from Woodcut and Robert Sorby that use boring bar cutters. Can anyone give me pros and cons or an opinion with regard to ring type cutters like those offered by Hamlet as opposed to the others offering cutter/scraper type tools? I guess ideally I should find someone in my area that already has a system that I may demo, anyone in the southern NH, northern MA area that might be able to help? Thanks again for all the input.
