Features

  • SAFE AND EASY FOR ALL LEVELS - The only coring device which is integrated with both the tool rest tail stock, making it the safest coring device on the market. Easy to operate meaning turners of all levels can use it.
  • SAVE MONEY AND TIME - Create multiple bowl blanks, no additional blade purchases required. The Bowlsaver includes two high strength blades (used one at a time) with Stellite Cutters giving a combination of cuts that will remove bowls from 3" to 12" up to 5" deep from the inside of the mother bowl. Different shaped vessels can also be achieved.
  • LATHES 1HP AND UP - Can be used on almost all Woodturning Lathes, from 12" to 16" swing with 1HP and up. 1" tool post included however, each lathe has a different diameter tool post so you may need to order a tool post to suit the lathe you are using if not 1". Set it up and start saving wood.
  • PREDICTABLE RESULTS EVERY TIME - The Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver has long lasting Stellite cutters which can cut green or seasoned wood, accurately remove a perfect bowl every time. A template pattern to determine bowl depth is included, or purchase a Light Guide to make this even easier.
  • USER GUIDES, TEMPLATE & VIDEOS SUPPLIED - An extensive user guide booklet is included in the box with your Bowlsaver. User guide, set up and demonstration videos are available on our You Tube channel.

Description

Woodcut Tools is a small family owned business with over 30 years experience. Designed by turners, for turners. Made in New Zealand. When purchasing a Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver everything is included to start coring ​bowls from 3" to 12", safely and easily for all skill levels. Other bowl coring systems seem cheaper but after buying all the required blades & parts they are much more costly. A comprehensive user guide is included as well as a template pattern to determine bowl depth. Demo videos available on You Tube. The Bowlsaver couples to the lathe via the tool post and is the only coring system which is also supported by a Morse taper that fits into the tailstock of the lathe. (2 Morse taper provided, however a 1 Morse taper can be supplied FOC separately). The design gives a solid support and reduces vibration. The Bowlsaver will fit almost all lathes large and small, from 12" to 16" swing with 1HP and up. 1" TOOL POST INCLUDED which is the most common size - If it does not fit with your lathe simply order a tool post separately, ensure it has a 1/2" UNF thread. Woodcut Tools have suitable tool posts available on Amazon. Please contact us should you require assistance with this. (Please note the tool post was not previously supplied, hence comments below) The Bowlsaver has two blades, which are used one at a time. The blades give a combination of cuts that will remove blanks from 3” up to 12” from the inside of the mother bowl. The depth that the blades will go into the wood can be adjusted from zero up to 130mm (5"). This, in essence, will remove a bowl 300mm (12") x 130mm (5") from the outer bowl. The replaceable Stelite cutters come sharp and ready to start coring. To re sharpen simply lightly sharpen with a Credit Card Hone also sold on Amazon, or similar. The Bowlsaver comes with a handle which can also easily be used for any 1/2" dia. tools.

  • Bowl turners dream
Style: Bowlsaver
Fantastic tool if you are a bowl turner saves waste and can get you three bowl blanks from what would otherwise be a single bowl!

  • Poor customer service
Style: Bowlsaver
I purchased this tool from Woodcut via Amazon on 3-23-21 paying $447.47. It was delivered 3-27-21 and right away I noticed a problem with the large blade. When installed it was below the wear pad, as can be seen in attached photo, requiring me to pry the blade up to clear the pad. I immediately sent an email directly to Woodcut instead of Amazon about the issue. The requested several photos and 4-8-21 they emailed me saying, "Thank you for this update which is very useful. With this information we now believe the large blade is out of alignment which is causing the issue you’re experiencing. The fact that the small blade operates through the arc ok essentially confirms that the other product components are working as designed." They sent me a new large blade arriving 4-19-21. I immediately discovered the same issue with the new blade and sent them another email with photos that day. By now they became slow to respond and finally in an email on 5-5-21, well past the the Amazon return date of 4-22-21, they tell me to simply put the blade on the pad before tightening the handle and use it as is. Doing this just means the handle will not be as tight as it should be. When I complained saying I thought they would ensure one was working properly, send it to me and let me return this one so they can figure out what's wrong with it they simply told me to send them either my credit card number or my banking info for a refund. Looks to me like they could contact Amazon, who already has my credit card info, and get them to accept a return instead of my sending that info half way around the world to a group I no longer have confidence in. I will now do as instructed by them and if I get injured using their tool I still have their emails as evidence the tool is not working as designed. ... show more

  • I Love It!
Style: Bowlsaver
The media could not be loaded. Oh I love my bowl saver! Number one, I get 2 to 3 bowls out of one piece of wood. Number two it’s a timesaver because I’m not pouring so much wood out of a 14 inch bowl, and number three there is so much less waste. And number four, the inner bowls are cut perfectly on the outside! I would highly recommend this coring system! One thing did happen. When I received my bowlsaver at first, The black coating that is put on the top plate went into the main threads to the screws. The screws wouldn’t go in. Their customer service was very timely. I love making bowls but I not a tool guy so I had to go to my local hardware store and get a tap (about $5) to “retap” the threads, basically redrilling. In the end it wasn’t very hard to do. Just a bit nerve racking that I’d do it wrong. Once retapped, I started using the bowlsaver. Watch the instruction video and you’ll be fine. I love it!!! I even used it on a live edge bowl to make three live edge bowls! ... show more

  • Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver for Coring Bowl Blanks 3" to 12"
Style: Bowlsaver
This is a very well made tool that should last a long, long time. Communication with both Jennifer and Dan have been just awesome. Fast responses to some emails and ready to help with anything (questions or issues) about their tool. I have cored several bowls now for nested sets and I am very pleased with this purchase. Cant wait to add the Light Guide for faster set-up time. Makes me wish I had a larger lathe so I could cut larger bowls, I only have a Ricon 12 1/2" swing 1 hp Midi and on its lowest speed (highest torque) belt setting it handled the Bowlsaver cuts just fine, just keep the blades sharp and don't force it too hard. It's way faster and less wasteful than just hollowing bowls. ... show more

  • Nice unit but missing an important part.
I only gave it 4 stars because when I received it, the kit didn't include the retrofit bolt like the description claimed it would. Now I have to wait for the bolt to be sent from New Zealand. Woodcut Tools customer service is taking care of the issue but just be aware, you may have to wait for the needed bolt, the lightguide cannot be used without the retrofit bolt. ... show more

  • Great for beginners or pros
Style: Bowlsaver
This tool has payed for itself many times over. Out of the three main bowl coring products on the market this one is by far the best. It’s simple to set up and way faster than the others. This is great for beginners or someone who turns hundreds of bowls. The people complaining about instructions are the same people that leave a full tank of gas in the lawnmower over the winter then wonder why it doesn’t start when it’s time to mow. Learn to use your tool!!!! ... show more

  • Pretty good but there is a bigger model
Style: Bowlsaver
It does exactly what the videos show. I should be able to make my money back with the extra bowls and bowl sets in short order. Not easily sharpened

  • Make sure you receive the replacement bolt for your bowl saver
Fit is not precise, I had to add a bit of tape to the bar to get the wobble out of it. Laser pointer does not come with batteries. The replacement bolt was missing and customer service sent me this bolt which is essential. Otherwise I am glad I purchased this tool.
