Instant chatter tool

[Hayes Rutherford]

Bosch jigsaw blades or similar work well. Here is a way to do it on the cheap if you don't have a suitable hollowing tool,

[Thom Sturgill]

Easy to make a chatter tool holder from mild steel rod -
- Drill a hole lengthwise about 3/4". This can be done on the lathe.
- Turn a wood plug to fit the hole and saw it in half lengthwise long enough to fill the depth of the hole.
- Drill and tap a hole near the end of the rod for a set screw.
- Glue the wood piece opposite the set screw.
- Turn a handle and insert the rod.

Now find objects to make blades from - I find cut-off saw (sawsall) blades work best for me. Cut out a piece to fit in the recess and extend a couple of inches. Try different shapes on the end - pointed and rounded.

All that said, I greatly prefer the results from the Sorby cutter.
