I added 9 more fulcrum pin holes to my Trent Bosch Hollowing Tool Stabilizer. Now there is always a hole in the right location! This really saves time and makes hollowing a lot more fun!

This is the REDESIGNED version of my Tool Rest for Bosch Stabilizer. This design can be ordered from SendCutSend. The holes in my old version were to close together for SendCutSend. For the old version see my More Bosch Stabilizer Holes – Old – Before SendCutSend blog entry. Continue reading More Bosch Stabilizer Holes – SendCutSend →

Updated: 2/23/2024. Over time I have decided that I STRONGLY prefer the SC2 chuck, rather than the SC1. I would NOT purchase the SC1 chuck again!
