The Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver Light Guide
was developed as an accessory for the Bowlsaver Original and Bowlsaver Max4 to make coring easier, more predictable, and more accurate. By showing the exact path the cutter will take, it removes the guesswork and helps turners achieve consistent bowl shapes every time.
How It Works
The Light Guide attaches to the pivot bolt of the Bowlsaver.
Its arm positions a light pen in line with the cutter.
As you rotate the arm, the projected line shows the cutter’s path traced across the outside of the bowl.
The Light Guide has three mounting holes:
Bowlsaver Original
uses two of these.
Bowlsaver Max4
uses all three.
Key Benefits
Accurate Coring
– Take the guesswork out of setup by clearly seeing the cutter path before you core.
Time Saving
– Quickly retro-fit the supplied bolt, attach the Light Guide, line up the light, and see exactly where the blade will cut.
Easy to Use
– Adjust your blade to the desired position with confidence.
Updated Torch
In 2025, the Light Torch was upgraded from the old cell battery design to a new USB rechargeable light pen
for easier charging and longer use.
