Re your hollowing tool. Have a look at the smaller Simon Hope range. http://www.hopewoodturning.co.uk
Have 3 of his smaller conical cutter tools I prefer them they do a neater job on all size of turnings.

Thanks Richard,
Is there a real advantage to this type of tool over the multi tip type tools from the likes of Robert Sorby?
The cutters are not meant to be sharpened and doing so can make the cuts worse. When you feel that the blade is dull, loosen the Torx holding screw and rotate the cutter by 90° for a completely new edge. Spare cutters cost £15 but you shouldn't need to replace them that often.

On price, especially when delivery here is taken into account, suitability for the project in hand and the fact I can order from Axminster with other stuff, it appears to be the preferred choice at the moment.
