Review on Hollower Swan Neck Woodturning Lathe Finisher Tool Hollowing With 12Mm Round Carbide Insert And A Screw And Star Key Wrench For Wood Hobbyist Or DIY Or Carpenter, RC-12 by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Broke after limited use. no apparent way to contact manufacturer

Unfortunately I have to rate this a 1*, as it broke after roughly 1-1.5 hours of actual turning time. I was initially happy with it, however the neck unexpectedly came loose and is now a safety concern. With the neck no longer secure, I'm forced to hold the neck against the tool rest and lose control of the tool without being able to hold the handle and/or change the angle. I couldn't find a way to contact Yufutol to see if there's a way to remedy this, therefore I'm giving it a 1* since it fell apart after very little use & there doesn't seem to be a way to get a replacement or reasonable solution. Don't buy this!

Pros
  • Works great at hollowing the inside of bowls. Only issue is it will loosen at the center joint at times.
Cons
  • The tool head is not adjustable, limiting its usefulness for varying sized projects
