Hi Rick

No, what you need is a tool rest that goes close in, so you do not have
the overhang.
How do you think I hollowed out bowls 8" deep 45 years ago, bowl gauges,
ring tools, and etc., where not invented yet!

Yes I know the answer, I used to say that too, : "that was then this is
now"

A bit of exaggeration there. The ring / hook tools are older'n Arch!
