Hi folks. Need some suggestions on tools. Turned for 15yrs but took a hiatus. Now I have money to upgrade. What are suggestions for the following things?...
Big Roughing gouge - replacing a 3/4" Sorby. I'm going big so I need something beefier
Bowl Gouge - a true bottoming bowl gouge. I've always made due with bowl gouges with swept/thumbnails.
Hollowing jig - I think mine is a Monster? But if I remember right, the maker passed away and it was left to his kids.
Carbide tools - I only have tool steel cutters. Carbide stuff was new when I last turned. Any reason to look at carbide cutters? Ex: Hunter Tools or others
I already have several Thompson handles...which I love. Wish I could remember the size but I don't mind buying more if the tool fits.
I turn on a 3520B. No upgraded needed for this machine.
Thanks.
