    Default Woodcut Pro-Forme Flexi Hollower

    Linton the Woodcut Pro Forme flexi is suitable for your small to medium hollow forms if this is the area you are looking to do.

    You mostly use the short link and try to keep the cutter in line with the bar.

    You use the long link more for a deeper undercut on the lip. Again still keeping the tip in line with the bar.

    This helps stoping the twisting action.

    Default Woodcut Pro Form Flexi

    Thank you Jim, I have a Mighty Midget Hollowing tool and find that it clogs up very easy, I was wondering how the Flexi stacks up, I have seen the video on your site about the Rolly Munro tool, mabee I am not doing it right!

    I got the Proforme Flexi (off Jim ) a few years ago and love it to bits Wouldn't bother with it on face grain (eg: bowls) because of clogging but it's the go-to tool for hollowing most woods to about 5 or 6" deep - rarely clogs at all!
