    Default Harry Arnall Tool Support

    Acquired a Harry Arnall tool support for deep hollowing (circa 1980's?). It also came with 5 different shaped hollowing tools. Most of the tools are missing their HS cutting tips as they were brazed/glued on. I'm in the process of replacing the tips with carbide ones as shown in photos. Anyone out there got or used one? Also anyone know about Harry?

    Very interesting that you say it is from the 1980's? Would like to know more about that given the modern interest in captured boring bars & all the self promotion about them being the first & the best.

    looks like you are missing the turret that attaches to the bed of the lathe.

    No, it's included in the set I got and you can see the bottom part on the top of the head stock in 1st photo, left of shell casing. I just have to get a longer extension for my Stubby as it was used on a smaller swing lathe.

    If you look up Google on Harry Arnall tool support you will see his patent info and the year. The modern ones look like a rip off of his patent/idea unless of course his patent had run out.

    Thanks the patent certainly was about in the '80's & seems it was not maintained after 1990 on first look. I guess there is no money in royalties for specialised woodturning tools.
