I've just watched the new Simon Hope you tube video where he demonstrates his 8mm hollowing carbide tool, thought I share it just in case anyone else is interested.

He's also done a video on his sanding pads & whilst obviously intended to promote his products it's a good demonstration on how to use rotary sanding pads.

Funnily enough Doug, i was going to do a search shortly for box turning using carbide cutters, as i haven't used mine yet, but why did i thing that the square cutter was the one to use for removing the end grain ... :nooidea:

Thanks Doug makes the old methods look dangerous and full of risk I believe even a beginner should be able to master boxes quickly.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:

I picked up on the 45 degree forward angle thanks I will make one of these for sure, have seen the lh kick and rh kick, set back, further forward like yours especially with a round stem all boxes ticked IMHO.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:
