Ive seen a bowl coring system (McNaughton) and was wondering if it (or any other brand) really works ?
Any brand that you recommend (i have a 12" swing on the lathe) ?
Are you limited to the depth of the bowl core you remove (you can not control it) ?
eg: removing a core that is 4" dia, then the depth would be 3" (or what ever). That depth has a standard relationship to the dia ?
Can you bend the "cutters" to create different depths ?
Right now i dont have access to alot of "log wood"/bowl blanks. So what i do get just kills me with all the "waste" when removing the inside. So i started to look into the coring system. I figured even if i was to make a shallow 8-9" bowl, i could use one of the coring system to remove a smaller 4-5" portion (being the main bowl will be shallow) and use that for something else.
Thanks for any help.
