My experience with the Easy Finisher is that the cutter bevel may well have been polished. The finish it leaves is exceptional. On a par with a carefully honed scraper edge.
Sorry this is a bit...

Thanks guys.
Got some good laughs here :-}
If it's Australian redgum it may be one of several species but the most common is River Red gum: Eucalyptus Camaldulensis.
The small Sorby multi tool uses a half round shaft which is neat. The flat for when you want to use the tooth pick and the round for shear scraping on the teardrop scraper. Control is no problem...
Same here but if the wood is hard it doesn't work too well.
A stepped hole works better but is time-consuming to do.
A pro turner friend just grinds the tang parallel. He's hard on his tools...
Here's one in the flesh, shot taken on my last outback trip.
It's about a yard across.
Why not mount the bit on round bar to begin with?
Then you can roll it for a shear scraping angle.
Same here; gold with green tints when green. Lovely. Then fades.
It's related to Osage Orange I think.
Yes, it's sensible to compare like with like.
And Down under the SN2 and Vicmarc 100 are roughly in the same price bracket.
QC has diminished since the move to China. It's precisely because...
I've concluded that there's two types of WW machines that come out of China: stuff that you are likely to have to tune and stuff that you won't. Partly it's down to the quality of the QC, and it...
Others have had different experiences Alan, unfortunately. These days you may or may not get a trouble-free chuck (or jaws without burrs).
Or lathe; my recently acquired Nova DVR XP has a number...
The high vanadium content in Doug's tools mean they're esp good with abrasive timber or sand-encrusted bark and the like.
They seem to keep cutting well beyond similar M2 tools before needing a...
If you do big natural edge bowls these puppies are the way to go.
Once you've roughed out the outside you can see if your tips are going to line up and reposition the piece at the tailstock end...
Do a web search on Nova chucks. There have been some manufacturing problems recently.
Bear in mind that if the target is bowls/platters you need Shellawax Cream. The liquid dries out too fast.
Yes, the BGM is a worthwhile addition, as is standardising your bevel geometries across similar tools where appropriate to speed setup.
