Description
Undercutting the rims of bowls and hollowing blind forms requires a tool that can reach around corners without catching. This 1″ hooked nose scraper is purpose-built to navigate internal overhangs safely, providing a thick steel profile that resists chatter during deep reaches. It is the ideal solution for refining hidden internal walls where a standard scraper cannot maintain the proper cutting angle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this tool require a heavy tool rest? A: While it works on standard rests, a robust rest positioned close to the hollowing entry point minimizes the risk of vibration.
Q: What is the best way to sharpen the hooked nose? A: Hone the top flat surface with a diamond stone to refresh the burr, or use a small stone on the curved profile at the grinder.
