This is the earlier version of the Woodcut hollowing system. It only has the one functional cutter - from memory a "Shepid Loop Cutter", no scrapers or cup cutters are with it as far as I have searched through the workshop. I can't answer your question about whether it will take the later version cup cutters or carbide cutters as I don't have the tools here with me. I am visiting on Tuesday so I will check it for you.

I have a set of these, both of my cutters are broken also. I asked at one of the Brisbane woodshows years ago if the newer style cutter could be fitted to these original tools, the answer I got was, it is possible to fit the newer/better cutters, but it wasnt a straightforward changeover, something had to be done, I cant remember the details of it though. An email to Woodcut should clear it up.
I dont have time to turn these days, so have never chased it up.

I will email Woodcut to find an answer.

We have an answer from Peter Hewitt of Woodcut Tools - "No the new cutters don't fit but we still stock the old ones - called Shepidcutters I think on the website." So my original statement about the replacement cutter - a "Shepid Loop Cutter" - is correct.

Thanks moby for checking out the cutters , will have a look
at the website and get back to you , ?.....

The link to Woodcut Tools if others are interested - Parts for Older Tools

This is the design of the new style of cutter tips, which is very different to the "older tools" - Parts and Accessories - 5/8 Pro-Forme Hollower

Price Increase now $400, just trying the old marketing trick, .

Seriously though price reduction now $125 just to move it on.

This is a good price for someone wanting to dip their toes into doing hollow forms and vases.

We keep the spare cutters in stock as there is still quiet a few of these around.

Thanks for chiming in Jim, I would like to move it on for the widow. I agree it is a bargain. It has one shepid loop cutter, the other is damaged so it is a functional tool as is without any other purchases if the user is prepared to move the cutter between the tool shanks.

HI, Is the unit still available?if so I am interested since Jim has said parts are still available, also will you send particulars to me please
regards and thanks Geof Ford
