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.

USER GUIDES & VIDEOS SUPPLIED - An extensive user guide booklet is included in the box with your Pro-Forme Hollowing Tool. User guide and demonstration videos available on our You Tube channel.


The straight shaft is designed to produce the opening and remove the wood down the sides and across the bottom of the vessel.


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 starter kit includes a handle, cutter head and a straight shaft.


Additional Accessories:

  • The Pro-Forme Scraper Head - designed for normal or shear scraping to reduce the need for sanding. The Scraper Head replaces the Power Head on the shank that is best suited for the turning. Two scraper cutters are included with the scraper head.
  • Irons Tool Rest - The Irons Tool Gate reduces the, usually, unsupported length of your hollowing tool.
