talon or stronghold

[joe zarnitz]

which one when using the woodcut bowlsaver coring jig on a jet 1642---tks,joe

[Roger Chandler]

I would use the stronghold..........

yea, the stronger the jaws, the better. I'm not familiar with the woodcut system, but if you can get an extension for your live center, it helps to pull the center up while coring to make sure the piece doesn't decide to launch.
I was able to find an extension about 6" long from online auction...but you can get from most the turning suppliers, i.e Craft Supplies, Woodcraft, Penn State, etc I'm fairly certain. The piece is simply a 2MT female fit on one end where the center goes, and a male 2MT end that goes into the tailstock. http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/store/Lathe_Accessories___Morse_Taper_Accessories___No__ 2MT_Extension___2mt_extension?Args=
This is one from Craft Supplies.

Just added a StrongHold to my 1642... daddy like :)

Either would probably work as the Woodcut does not core a very large bowl.
