Flat scraper cutters such as Asymmetric and Tear Drop are used in woodturning hollowing systems to provide stable, controlled material removal inside bowls and hollow vessels. Their flat presentation on the tool rest reduces the risk of catches, making them ideal for safe, incremental hollowing in deep or confined spaces. Asymmetric cutters are best for general, forgiving hollowing, while teardrop cutters allow more precise shaping and access to tighter curves or undercuts.
The Pro-Forme Pro-Scraper Assymetric Cutter
is designed to deliver an exceptionally smooth finish inside or outside hollow forms and vessels.
This cutter can be used as traditional scrapers or positioned at an angle to achieve a shear cut, producing an ultra smooth surface that significantly reduces sanding time. They are an essential addition for achieving refined, professional finishes in hollowing work.
This asymmetric hollowing scraper features two distinct cutting radii. By simply rotating the tool, the turner can move between stable material removal and precise finishing. The offset geometry improves control inside the vessel, reduces catches, and produces a cleaner internal surface.
