Hi everyone,
I need to get a coring system and like the ease and speed of the Oneway but I think it's out of my price range right now. I do like the versatility of the McNaughton system but am a little concerned with how long it will take to learn and how long it will take to core vs. the Oneway. This isn't the main reason for my post though, but comments on these thoughts would be appreciated as I can't stop wondering about it.
The reason for my post, is I was looking at the systems. I have a 16" swing lathe and will get a 24" in the future (several years away :(). I figure the Standard McNaughton system is the appropriate size for my lathe and bowls I can turn with it. I would like to do larger as I have the wood to do so and the desire. I saw mentioned that with the large system you can turn outboard. This would allow me to go larger than 16". I can't find explanations about this. Have any of you tried outboard turning with the McNaughton system? The combo system, Standard and Large, has money savings and provides a much larger tool handle. The handle in the Standard size seems small although I have not used any of the systems. If I buy the larger system later I would need the larger handle too. Another additional cost. Thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Neil
