Woodcut Bowlsaver Bowl Coring System - Demonstration

If you are hollowing out a large bowl, it is such a shame that all of the material being removed ends up on the workshop floor as shavings. The Woodcut Bowlsaver is attached to the lathe via the lathe tool post and is also supported by a Morse taper that fits into the tailstock of the lathe (MT2). The Bowlsaver uses 2 curved blades to give a combination of cuts that will remove blanks from 75mm (3") up to 300mm (12") from the inside of the outer bowl. The depth that the blades will go into the wood can be adjusted from zero up to 130mm (5"). This, in essence, will remove a bowl 300mm (12") x 130mm (5") from the outer bowl.
Ideal for all skill levels, it works very well on either seasoned or unseasoned timber. If turned unseasoned, the resulting bowl blanks can be put aside for seasoning and finishing at a later date. We would recommend a minimum power requirement of 1hp for using this system. N.B. You will need to choose the correct diameter tool post to suit your lathe from those listed.

Just love watching Colwyn and his demos. Very thorough but straight forward instructions. Great job guys thank you

[@sk13ppy]

What a brilliant invention! Thanks for the great demo, much easier to hear and watch without background music.

[@MikeWaldt]

A very thorough and detailed demonstration Colwyn, excellent video. Cheers Mike

[@robhiggins9880]

Very good instruction video on this tool. I bought the standard Woodcut as used in the video. Works really well!

[@axminster]

Hi Rob, Thanks for your comment. Pleased to hear you enjoy using your Woodcut Bowlsaver.

[@remwoodz]

Superbly done! You have certainly demystified the system. Thank you

[@ScrapwoodCity]

That's a pretty cool tool to have! Especially if you are making bowls often!

[@davidfallow2231]

Think you are using the templates incorrectly. The arrow should touch the bottom of bowl and the centre of the bolt. Bowl base thickness is built into the system. Easier the guessing. I have made hundreds of bowls, using the same system on a 1hp axminster lathe it's fantastic. No failures yet!

[@InfiniteAirbrush]

I have a 2hp laguna and the bowlsaver just like this, on the larger blade I keep getting caught up somehow and it stops my lathe several times. I'm pretty sure it's all set up right, not sure what I'm doing wrong yet

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

That is such a good addition to your tools to save on valuable woods, Excellent demonstration thanks.

[@spinfieldturners]

A really excellent demo which shows exactly how the system works and should be used. I have just bought a 2nd hand one and I now know how to set it up and use it!

[@woodcuttoolsnz]

Please let us know if you require any support Malcom

[@geneanderson2256]

I have had one for years!! They are great!!

[@walterhynson2898]

takes all the fun out of bowlmaking

[@esslemontc]

bought one several years ago from Axminster, great bit of kit and a worthwhile purchase

[@summerswoodworking]

That’s pretty cool and reduces waste. I love it!!!!

[@donlyons8964]

Excellent instructions, thank you. I plan on using mine tomorrow and appreciate the refresher course.

[@cezarlorenzini]

Very good!

[@MusicFurler]

I use a great deal of Axminster tools in my wood turning business, I started on a hobby lathe and now own three lathes.

[@brianmclaughlin2621]

I went to use mine today but found out it didn’t come with a tool rest so it’s a phone call to Axminster to get one my fault I thought it would come with one to go with my 508 lathe that I got at the same time Thanks for the blog very informative as always from the team at Axminster 👌👌

[@lacaver64]

this is a good attachement and you can make a lot of bowls with a wood stock

[@oficinanasala]

Parabéns amigo

[@menglor]

Why not start with the small cutter and not have to re mount it? Then do the larger one after?

[@fletchlives8639]

In your opinion. Which is a better option. An internal chuck or an external chuck. Trying to work out what would be a better purchase yano.

[@axminster]

Hi fletch lives, the following reply is from Colwin - "This depends on the project, however, if you're looking for strength then recess can be made stronger but if you're looking for flexibility then a foot is better. Different projects will change the answer so you will need to get used to using both methods. Hope that helps."

[@cezarlorenzini]

Muito boas explicações.

[@andres78171]

muy bonito el trabajo ya me gustaría tener oportunidad de comprar uno 👍🇪🇸

[@vancelupton3309]

Excellent demo and explanation Colwyn - I just have one query. At about 12.43 into the video you say that the template will indicate the back of the CUT. Is this correct as on my template it states that it will indicate the 'BASE OF BOWL'?

[@alangardiner872]

"To it's Lowest Torque" ????...I think you meant, to it's Lowest Speed settings, hence..maximum torque.... Great Video, as ever.

[@Jarno1510]

Why don’t you cut the inner bowl first and progress to the bigger ones leaving the wood on the chuck instead of having to re mount the whole thing for every size?

[@axminster]

Hi there, Colwin says you need to turn a foot on each piece prior to remounting and turning. Hope this helps.

[@ValioMadre7]

I'm headed to Walmart, I've got to get me one of these.

[@jorgerojo5971]

Wow I will like to buy that sistem. Thanks for your vídeo. How many coast?

[@khemrajganesh4188]

Please share where you bought the face shield

[@lierman5945]

Hi colwyn, can you check the template position? I use it to the bottom of the blank… as I’ve tried it your way and it seems to cut an uneven bowl. The main blank has a larger base and the second bowl is smaller than needs to be. Can you let me know as I’m a little confused as to which is the correct method.

[@hswing11]

Boy is that misleading he doesn't show the catch when entering the side grain and how to avoid it.... ( i have one should have purchased the Oneway bowl saver)

[@wakelywanderer12]

The template is used differently in your various instructional videos. Does it line up with the bottom of the blank or where you want the bottom of the cut to be?

[@axminster]

[www.axminstertools.com/business-services]Hello, the template will give a 20mm wall thickness of bowl so if you want more just add the extra

[@msalmon3]

Thanks a lot- what were the dimensions roughly of the original blank?

[@nic_the_aged_woodworker]

Someone looks like they had a rough night!

[@jessejordan2095]

What kind of helmet with vents

[@ReevansElectro]

Please edit our all the unneeded explanation of what you are going to do and just do it. Also, cut out or speed up your set-up fiddlie bits.

[@simonpitcher3161]

Would the gouge work on a AC370wl?

[@axminster]

Good afternoon I can confirm that this will be compatible with the AC370WL. You will need to purchase the appropriate tool post which is our product code 951130. Kind regards Jade Customer Service
