Bowlsaver Max4 Bowl Coring System

The Blades

•   The Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver Max4 comes with three blades to offer a cut size from 3″ to 18″ in diameter. Each blade is shaped to a radius and is provided with a precision sharpened Stellite cutter.
• The large blade uniquely features a concave shape that provides solid support for the blade without needing an additional tool rest that can be complex to operate, especially with natural-edged bowls, making bowl coring simple for the turner.
• The blades are manufactured from high-performance steel proven to retain shape and ensure a lifetime of efficient bowl coring.

​
The Platform

• The bowl coring process will apply high pressure to the platform, especially if the wood is hard and dense. The Bowlsaver Max4 coring system is made with precision machined cast aluminum and steel anodized to successfully core bowls small or large, wet or dry.
• When coring large bowls, the blade experiences immense downward pressure. To prevent the blade from twisting, the top of the large blade is supported by a machined steel post, and a bearing supports the bottom of the lower blade.

The Tailstock

• A machined No 2 Morse Taper comes supplied to enable integration of the Bowlsaver Max4 product with the lathe tail stock, ensuring a stable bowl coring platform.
• 3/8 – 16″ threaded rod supplied to provide integrated support and stability from the No 2 Morse Taper to the Lathe tail stock.

The Handle

• The Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver Max4 Bowl Coring System comes supplied with a 20″ long handle with double skin steel and an 8 ½” long foam grip.
• The 20″ long handle uniquely features a spigot that supports an additional handle for more handle length and leverage if needed.

Versatile

• A simple adjustment of the tail stock slide on the platform will support the turner to core the bowl shape they require.

Support

•  A detailed user guide includes ready-to-use planning templates to core a nest of bowls successfully.
