Hollowing and Boring |
|
Boring Holesby Bob French RPT (Compiled by Malcolm Martin)Bob uses a bowl gouge to do any drilling. He explained that that the gouge to use is one where the bottom of the flute is on the centre of the gouge diameter not all gouges are. Also you need to grind the left hand side edge slightly in advance of the right hand side edge. | |
Quick holowingby Bob French RPT (Compiled by Malcolm Martin)Turn a bowl gouge upside down enter in at an angle from the front so cutting on the inside away from you. The advantage is that the waste material shoots out of the hole down the flute of the bowl gouge and saves a lot of time not having to clear the muck out of the hollow. Who has the guts to try it? Bob showed us doing this without the use of a tool rest. The tool shank was rubbing on the entry to the hole which was in effect acting as a tool rest. |
