I bought the Rolly Munro hollower. I have always wanted one and finally took the plunge.

How's that working for you? I've been considering one myself. My latest tool would have to be the Tormek ts-100. This little jig allows me to duplicate my Elsworth grind perfectly in just a few seconds. Makes sharpening a real pleasure.Originally Posted by Pete Jordan

My Jet 1642 lathe - I love the electronic speed control and it sure beats the old Delta

Like Jeff I am a very happy new owner of the Kobra Hollowing system. It is opening up the ability to hollow large forms as quick as I do forms half the size free hand. It is built like a tank as Jeff said.

Too many to note.... but I see Glaser on this thread. Have you folks bought the Hi-tec glasers? Are they making them?

Yes they are making them.

So far, I'm really happy with the stuff I have gotten from them.

The second to the last tool I bought, recently, was a NSK Presto high speed rotary tool. The latest tool I bought was a replacement turbo cartridge for said tool after I wasaccidentally supplying the tool with double the max psi and ruined the original turbo cartridge! That little act of stupidity cost me an additional $139!

No, it's not thin enough yet.

McNaughton Center Saver for me. Not only does it save wood, it saves me time as well, as it cores quicker than I can hollow, plus lots less to clean up. Since I stress reclamation practices, I feel like it is a great addition to my tools.

+1 for the Trend AirShield Pro. I don't have the breathing issues I had before (nothing serious yet, but I didnt want it to become something). When the battery is low, I do not finish turn until it is charged. Then one of the vendors had batteries on sale for 1/2 price, so I bought a spare and eliminated this problem.
Thank you,

It's a toss up between my Trend AS Pro, same reasons as Rich, and my remote control starter for my vac.
