I may be wrong, but hollowing tools are scrapers. If you look at the bits
that go in the end of the tool to me it looks like a round nose scraper
only
really small.

There are tools designed to cut, as well. Ken's Proforme and similar
modified hook tools come to mind.

You can also do a lot of stock removal with a pointy gouge, cutting on the
long wings as you sweep out and in toward center. Advantage there is that
the shavings roll down the flute of the gouge and out the opening, rather
than accumulating in the recess.
