OUR PRODUCTS
Driven by tradition while pushing the boundaries with innovative products.
Our products are designed by turners, for turners.
Woodcut Tools is bold with product design and challenges assumptions to ensure only the best products are supplied to customers. These values run across the range of products. The Bowlsaver is the only coring product integrated with the lathe tailstock for safety. Unlike other Hollowing products, the Pro-Forme range doesn't require the gauge to be adjusted. The Pro-Mount supports the growing trend for hands free turning, enabling the project to remain in the chuck off the lathe.

Pro-Mount Carving Stand
Born out of the need to hold chuck mounted turned work for embellishing.
360 DEG. ROTATION - Two independent locking levers means you can rotate your work horizontally as well as vertically. The outer lever controls horizontal rotation allowing you to turn your work a full 360 deg. The inner handle controls vertical rotation also 360 deg. There is great advantage in being able to adjust your work one plane at a time.
STURDY AND VERSATILE - Once the levers are locked your work will not move and carving or decorating can commence. The bench stand has slots in the base to allow mounting on your bench, wall, a milling machine cross slide or pillar drill table.
LATHE TO CARVING TO LATHE - A freshly turned vessel can be moved onto the Pro-Mount whilst remaining in the woodturning chuck allowing it to then be put directly back onto the lathe to finish turning once completing your embellishment or carving.
USER GUIDES & VIDEOS SUPPLIED - An extensive user guide booklet is included in the box with your Pro-Mount. User guide and demonstration videos available on our You Tube channel.
This is far more than a carving stand. Choose the correct spindle for your lathe and this give you the option of mounting a woodturning chuck with the same thread onto the Pro-Mount. Turners can screw a freshly turned bowl directly onto the Pro-Mount for embellishment and decoration while the bowl is held in the jaws of the chuck.
The Pro-Mount spindle has a hole through the centre and a 1/4" BSP thread at its base for an airline fitting. This gives the option of using a vacuum chuck as a means of workholding.
The bench stand post doubles as a 1" tool post with a 1/2 inch UNF, which offers the choice of mounting your Pro-Mount on your lathes banjo. Each lathe requires a different diameter tool post so if you require a different size tool post you will need to purchase this separately.

Carvers plate is available also as an additional purchase.
Pro-Forme Intermediate Kit
The most popular Pro-Forme Hollowing kit option. Includes the straight plus bent head for cutting under the shoulder of the hollow form.
"Make shavings, not dust".
The Woodcut Pro-Forme hollowing system includes a hardened M2 high speed steel cutter that is open on the side to prevent clogging, which is common with other end grain/hollowing tools. The adjustable safety gauge determines the depth of cut and prevents dig-ins. Each cutter can be sharpened using a diamond hone. If required the cutter can also be replaced.
EASY TO USE, NO NEED TO ADJUST CUTTERS - Unlike other tools you don't need to keep adjusting the cutter. The cutter is hardened M2 high speed steel that is open on one side to prevent clogging, which is a common problem with other end grain/hollowing tools. It also cuts at much slower speeds eg. 500 rpm, minimizing secondary shavings.
SIMPLE TO SHARPEN - Easiest hollowing tool to sharpen. Simply use a diamond file, such as the Woodcut Tools Credit Card Diamond Hone
CROSS AND END GRAIN - Designed for cross and end grain scenarios as well as dry and green wood. Hollow forms up to 13" deep, and even deeper in conjunction with the Woodcut Irons Tool Rest.

The straight shaft is designed to produce the opening and remove the wood down the sides and across the bottom of the vessel. The bent shaft is required for getting under the neck of your hollow forms.
The 20" (508mm) spigot handle has a comfortable cushioned grip for long periods at the lathe and if required two handles can be fitted together for extra length if required.
The Woodcut Pro-Forme is designed to hollow both side and end grain on green or dry wood. However, for an optimal hollowing experience, Woodcut Tools recommends the cutter is regularly sharpened and green wood is used. For guidelines on how to sharpen the cutter please refer to page 6 of the User Manual available.
All Pro-Forme tools feature a heavy duty 5/8" diameter shaft that will reach up to 10" over the tool rest.
The Pro-Forme Intermediate Kit includes a handle, cutter heads, straight and bent shafts.
