Title: Hollowing with a CCD Camera Arm
Post by: Bryan Milham on August 24, 2015, 07:39:45 PM: Following on from David's posting on someone using a camera to aid their turning, this guy has replaced the laser on his hollowing rig with a camera and TV screen.

Technology strikes again...

But then all the best to the guy, if it works for people, they have the money to spend and he makes a few bob then everyone's a winner. Geeze how the other half live, but I agree with you ED, just a fast track way without having to learn to use the tools. :)

That is more like it, Less than £50 I can go with.

Having said that, as a hobbyist, I've just bought a Hope hollowing rig, which some would say is cheating.
