Right angle coring, is that even a thing?

[hughie]

As I do more closed vessels than anything else, this brings on different requirements, mods etc. This one is not new I came across it several years ago and but by the look of it, it never caught on.
Image 4828 is the collection with additional tips, handles are hollow allowing for length adjustment.
Image 4833 shows the heads along with the depth stop
image 4830 a close-up of the different hollowing heads
image 4834 is the actual business end, a simple piece of HSS steel 3mm thick shaped, etc with a 4" grinder cut-off wheel, silver soldered to the shaft

So you cut a deep kerf that will accept the sawtooth cutter, then pivot it to undercut the core? Have you ever used it? Seems like it could be, let's say, interesting

yes just recently

I am still on my first cup of coffee so the brain is working a little slow this morning. I'm trying to wrap my head around how you can use the long hook tool in photo 4834 to cut the bottom. How wide of kerf are you creating to make this possible. The length of the saw blade is so long I'm trying to picture how it could be inserted without a horrific catch.

Frank, I cut a kerf around 9/16" and make sure the cutter will easily slide down the kerf when the bowl is stationary rotate the lathe by hand to check the clearance, and set the toolpost so the shaft is on centre, ideally in an Irons gate. At this point, I start the lathe up at slow speed of 2-300rpm, roll the shaft in the irons gate anti-clockwise into the wood. The length of the cutter determines the dia of the core

I know you were successful @hughie , but I still gotta say: "Yikes".

You should make a video of this in action.
