The Knives

• Three zinc plated knives are supplied that offer a cut size from 3″  75mm to 18″ 460mm in diameter. Each knife is shaped to a radius and is supplied with a precision sharpened Stellite cutter.
• The large knife uniquely features a concave shape that provides solid support for the knife without the need of an additional tool rest for the knife that can be complex to operate, especially with natural-edged bowls, therefore making bowl coring simple for the turner.
• Knives are manufactured from high-performance steel that is proven to retain shape and therefore ensure a lifetime of efficient bowl coring.

​
The Platform

• The bowl coring process will apply high pressure to the platform, especially if the wood is hard and dense. The Max4 is therefore made from precision machined cast aluminum and steel that is anodized to successfully core bowls small or large, wet or dry.
• When coring large bowls the knife experiences immense downward pressure, to prevent the knife from twisting, the top of the large knife is supported by a machined steel post, and the bottom of the lower knife is supported by a bearing.

The Tailstock

• Machined No 2 Morse Taper is supplied to enable integration of the Max4 product with the lathe tail stock, ensuring a stable bowl coring platform.
• 3/8 – 16” threaded rod supplied to provide integrated support and stability from the No 2 Morse Taper to the Lathe tail stock.

The Handle

• Supplied with a 20” 500 mm long handle that features double skin steel and an 8 ½” 215mm long foam grip.
• The 20” long handle uniquely features a spigot that supports an additional handle for further handle length and leverage if needed.

Versatile

• A simple adjustment of the tail stock slide on the platform will support the turner to core the shape of the bowl they require.

Support

•  A detailed user guide including, ready to use, planning templates to successfully core a nest of bowls straight away.
