The bottom fuller is just to hold the shaft under the hammer so it wont fall down on the floor, and it keeps holding the shaft round a little better
than just using the tool and no fuller,
You can use the topp tool wothout a lower fuller but its a little bit complicated.
Yes there is no lower tool to make the waist on the shaft only topp tool.
Wath is the correct name of such topp tool in english:confused:
