Hiya for me it’s the risk of putting the tool through a gap/window...fine hand movement is a problem.
A bowl/ cup turning and I get a catch. At worse I ruin the project, hollow form with holes turning the out side ...
I shudder at the thought of the trouble I could cause.....
Ahh that's fair enough, have you considered negative rake scrapers for finer work? Much less chance of a catch and if you watch Richard Raffan on YouTube he actually uses them to very quickly hollow out pots and bowls

Hello k reading this made me think of my day out in Belgium at Willy Vanhouttes open day. The Robert Sorbert stand had a chap called Clive if my memories correct, demostraighting a steady rest for hollowing out. This sounds like it could be right up your street.
