Hollowing with a CCD Camera Arm
« 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...

I think this is for those who can't use a hollowing tool :)

$650 dollars to help you with hollowing, then you need the 'Stabilizer' at $350 hell then the hollower, it isn't that difficult that you need to spend over $1000. 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. :)

Mike Gibson posted something similar not too long ago. His camera/screen was a cheap reversing camera so you could make your own for less than £50

Quite eye-watering costs aren't they, and I have to admit I'm not convinced that the person who thinks he really needs them would persevere and learn how to hollow to any real degree of skill? Good marketing pays - in the US of A at any rate!

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