I found some 7/16 round steel rods lost in a corner of my shop and am cobbling up some small inserted bit hollowing tools. I wouldn't sully his memory by calling my messies, "Oland Tools". :)
I have some 3/16 round hss bits, but they seem a bit too aggressive. Could be my technique since I have used square 3/16 bits without making too many funnels. :)
What size bits do you all suggest for these small tools? Also what length of exposed shaft do you suggest and what reasonable depth should I expect to hollow to, say in cherry or mahogany, with a 7/16 crs shaft?
