Ripsnorter pics

[hughie]

Heres a few pics of the ripsnorter. Why ripsnorter? Well, Cliff came up with it and its kinda stuck. :U Anyway this gives an idea of the size of it etc.

I tried to take some pics of a couple of old milling cutters I had ground up as hollowing tools. Not enough light, so will to have another go in daylight. :~ The grind is similar to the drill bit hollower video posted on Youtube.

Looks good:2tsup:
when does mine turn up?
I gather you had a slight concern that it might pull out of a handle, hence the shark grip tenon
(hey that sounded alright might trademark the "shark grip tenon" thought)

:U No worries Nick, I'm doing a major mail out Friday or Sat morning.

Shark grip tenon good one :2tsup:. I have not had any of mine pull out. But I thought it would not hurt to make darn sure, I am always looking at improvement possibilties.
