The Monster Articulated Arm Hollowing System

[Rick Bailey]

Dose anyone have a video showing one in use?
I can find one on you tube and not very good.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
I have had the Monster for about four years and it is great. I took a look on Google for Monster Hollowing Jig and found lots of stuff to help you. One video by a young man shows the working of the Articulated system quite well. He starts by showing the things he does not like, but he is going beyond the intended depth of the unit ??? If he is getting vibration in the laser out 18" then he should have made a new fitting that clamps the laser out on the 18" bar so it can be stable. That is just me seeing a solution to a specific problem this guy has... The unit works really well.
There is some good video of him actually cutting and using the laser for wall thickness...
Enjoy, it is only about 8 minutes long.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg5Z0ls5C2w

Here is an edit to add a link to a discussion here on SMC about the different systems, great reading!

Did you buy one already? If you didn't, get the curved bar too...... Mine didn't come with it. Works well, I like it.
