Vector Drives and Parabolic flutes -Seriously!

[Reed Gray]

Yea, some have to have perfect bevel angles, identical on all their tools, and hold their tools the same way for any particular/peculiar cut. Me, I just angle the tool till it cuts, then cut. Feel the cut, and learn how to make what I have do what I want.

Now, just got 2 madrone and 2 myrtle logs.... Got some bowls to turn.

Straight wing or slightly convex or even slightly concave don't seem to make much difference to me.

Too much concave wing and too little care and the cutting action can jump from one side of the dip to the other. AKA a catch.
