THE REVERSIBLE HOOKER RS210
This tool enables internal shapes to be cut safely. Hitherto, this work
was either impossible, extremely difficult or even dangerous! The
special hook design, fitted with the multi - purpose HSS Cutter RS222,
allows you to make both aggressive roughing cuts and also finishing
cuts. Alternatively, the Swivel Tip RS211 can be used (see below). The
Hooker has TWO seatings and is reversible for either inboard or
outboard work. The side handle can be assembled at a convenient
position on either side of the Hooker for right or left handed use.
IMPORTANT
The toolrest, as illustrated, should be far enough away from the work
to allow only the
straight
portion of the shank to make contact with
the toolrest!
The Hooker in use
Fig 1
. The majority of wastewood can be removed quickly from the
outside with the Slicer. These rings could also be turned into
picture/mirror frames as shown on page 2.
Fig 2
. Rough shape the outside and decide upon the method to be
used to hold the bottom. The illustration assumes the use of a 2"Ø
spigot.
Fig 3
. Final shaping of the outside can be done after the work is
reversed.
Fig 4
. Initial removal of internal waste can be done by plunge cutting
with the Slicer or alternatively with a saw tooth machine bit held in the
tailstock.
Extension Shank RS204
When working very deep vessels, it may be necessary to fit the
Extension Shank. This provides an extra
9½”
reach. It may also be
necessary, in certain situations, to fit the Side Handle to the Extension
Shank rather than to the Hooker.
