Description Convert your High Speed Steel Hollowing Tools to Carbide using this Carbide Conversion Kit. Each kit comes with a carbide tip holder that can be super glued into your existing HSS Hollowing Tools as well as a fresh cup style Hunter #1 carbide tip, and T9 Torx wrench. How does it work? Just like our standard High Speed Steel tips, this special conversion tip is super glued into place with a medium viscosity super glue. Watch a short video on the process of gluing tips here. Why choose Carbide? No need to sharpen, just rotate the tip for a fresh edge. The cutting edge lasts a very long time and creates a nice shaving with a clean cut. This can be both good and bad. A clean cut is easier to sand and clean up, however removing longer shavings through a small opening can be challenging. Important note about our Carbide Hollowing Tools: Depending on the material that you are cutting, we recommend rotating the tool/cutter towards the wood anywhere between 5-15 degrees. When used straight up the carbide tips can become aggressive (especially in harder woods).
