Sorby box hollower

[Jamie Cowan]

Just picked up the Sorby box hollower, and haven't even had a chance to use it yet, when I started wondering if there are other tips compatible with the tool. Does anyone know if any of the various tips Sorby makes are compatible with each other? Perhaps I've overlooked something really basic--it has been a long day.

Per Craft Supplies USA's website, the Sorby Box Hollower comes standard with "an angled box scraper". In addition, CSUSA carries six optional cutters for the tool. (At least, I think there are six optional cutters. Cutter "B" might be the one that comes with the tool.)

Here's from their website:


In addition to the angled box scraper cutter (included) designed to true the sidewall and bottom corners of a box, several other specialty cutters are available for purchase. You can make your own custom scraper cutters as well.
Looks like an interesting tool. Let us know how you like it.
