WTB: turning tool with outrigger arm for hollowing

Here are few pictures of one of the hollowing tools I made
This side is for forward turnings.
IMG_7029.jpeg This side is for reverse. IMG_7030.jpeg This shows the cutter on the reverse
IMG_7031.jpeg This last pic shows the forward side. The cutter is on the other side and takes seconds to remove and install on the side needed IMG_7032.jpeg I hope this helps. I have some aviation drill bits that I used to drill the screw hole and center the cutter at the same time. CRS is setting in and I can’t remember what the bit is called so can’t say what you need to center the cutter.
The bar is 1/2” 4140 chromemoly steel. ………Nubs

Hi Nubs -- thanks for the photos and info. I'll flatten both sides like you've done to make it reversable. Some day I might get a reversible lathe. Thanks!
 
If you want a very large one to get in long sleeve ones. I have this one for sale … probably too heavy to ship … came from a company in Canada

I made some more progress on my outrigger tools. The handles are done, turned from some scrap pieces of ash. They are coming along. I’ll be turning my attention to the tips next. @ripjack13 many thanks! IMG_2750.jpeg
