Designed by Jimmy Clewes, the New Mate #1 and Mate #2 is an extremely versatile, user friendly, value for money, hollowing/cutting tool.
These tools do not scrape they CUT! And, with a lot of control due to the design and angle of the cutter on each tool.
Mate #2 has a 8mm cup cutter (micro crystalline carbide cutters sharpened with diamonds).
Set in a machined pocket at approximately 22 degrees, this allows for a more user-friendly, less aggressive cut which is great for confidence building.
