Hi, been a minute sense asking for suggestions. Hope everyone is doing well. I am looking for a tool to hollow out small turnings such as pencil pots and medium size straight sided birdhouse christmas ornaments. I have been using fostners bits and then scrapers but am tired of getting catches with my scrapers and the fostner bits dont really last that long and are slow. Was looking around at the many selections of small carbide hollowing tools and kinda like the small 8 mil Hope tool and Jimmey Clewes tool. Any one here have these two tools and can offer advice? Thanks much.
