Does anyone have experience with the Carter and Son X Mike Mahoney Hollowing system? I think it is relatively newer system.
Thank you.
Thank you.

New Carter/Son X Mike Mahoney Hollowing System
- Thread starter David Friedman
- Start date
It looks like it has just been released. I took a class from Mike back in 08, we used the Dennis Stewart system, which was discontinued. This looks very similar. If Mike designed this, I am quite sure it's good.
Thank you for your thoughts and information.
I have it and love it. Very high quality tools.
No, but it appears to be a good manual system. I’ve done a lot of hand held hollowing, which is what motivated me to get a captive system. The risk of injuring the back hand/elbow/shoulder is very real, and the risk increases the further the cutter is extended off the tool rest.
I would agree Doug. I use manual systems myself, but if I was turning something quite deep, I would get a captive system.
