Coring Bowl Blanks with the Oneway Easy Coring System

**Update: I'm now using a carbide tip in this system that's a game changer. See the reasons why and it in action in my Feb. 14, 2018 WW'nTip-of-Day on Carbide-n-Steel • Carbide -n- Steel **
Demonstration and discussion of the concept of coring bowl blanks. We go over two main types of coring systems and discuss the main players in each category, the Oneway Easy Coring System and the McNaughton Core Saver System. The demonstration is over the Oneway System and covers sharpening and usage.

My dad had a lathe when I was growing up and I used to love to watch him work. I got in to watching wood turning videos recently, and loved them. Watching people make amazing projects, I would think to myself "wow... I can do that!" But those people make it look so easy. I am so glad that I stumbled onto your channel. Watching you actually SHOW me how to do these things. Explaining not only the hows but the whys is so informative. I love it! Thank you so much! Now, To do some measuring to see where I can set up my dad's old lathe in my basement..... :)

[@Gprince2121]

I know this comment might be 4 years late, but great video! You went above and beyond to help explain the system and sharpening! Usually youtubers just skip through all the steps. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

You are a true teacher How I cut myself... and you just keep going and stay on topic Incredibly informative, I always learn a lot from your videos and would not be any worthy turner without your content Thank you

[@anfearmor9616]

Good Man. Great video. It is actually great to see a video, where you have the problems of not enough horse power, shavings clogging up etc, where the motor slows down, and how to deal with it. Most videos, start and run sweetly through, this is a far more valuable video to any aspiring Bowl Gougers :-)) like me. Thank you.

Absolutely fascinating. I was always concerned that the process of bowl making was very wasteful of some rather lovely grained wood specimens. This seem like an ideal solution. The only problem seems to be the short life of the cutting tool - are there carbide tools that can be inserted?

Forever Turning Peter Kipfer carbide is only way to go if you can afford one per blade. It’s a pain switching.

[@shraga-thecountrywoodturner]

Nice presentation, thank you. Do you ever have a problem not using the tailstock for support? The oneway training video recommends using the tailstock for support to the extent that they sell a spindle extender for the tailstock to allow it to be used in deeper bowls.

[@wortheffort]

If you were real aggressive ya. If you use a tenon on a big bowl, ya. I don't have the extender so it takes me longer. Also if you have a bigger I think the pivot point for the jig is lower so you can use one. My cone live center is too big to position the pivoting arm in the right spot and use the tailstock.

[@shraga-thecountrywoodturner]

Interesting, thanks

[@audreyberry6321]

If you got a strong tenon or deep recess I don't see a problem. Maybe on the extremely big bowls. I have done 5 x 15 though. That is also with only green wood

[@wortheffort]

I'm weary of tenons when hollowing as I've had a few break off. Bowl turning tenons are "with the grain" so it doesn't take much torque to split the wood. End grain is another matter. There a tenon is better. If I'm not coring I use a tenon no matter what.

Just make sure you get all the end grain painted. Many people paint the whole bowl.

[@tawilk]

how do you prep them for drying? I have my first massive bowl blank and have never worried about second turning before. any ideas?

[@Knobstock]

I, too, have a coring system and am of the opinion that it's simply not worth the effort unless the wood is of remarkable quality.

[@sparkydoodles4440]

Really enjoyed this video. I was wondering if there is a recommended RPM for this system? Thanks!

[@jamestetreault7675]

He states around 300 rpm. Belts on lowest setting for max torque.

[@spudpud-T67]

I think you will find that a scraper does have a burr edge. On turning tools you keep the burr from grinding (13:00) and scrape (shavings are formed) a final surface (after initially shaping with the gouge). When cabinet making you file a flat on the scraper blade edge and then using a hard round rod rub the rod along the edge to draw over a burr for scraping. Without a burr nothing will happen. The negative bit on your coring system is just coarsely grinding the wood out, not nice but the only possibility in coring. Some coring tips are flat and not negative rake, flat would do fine on your system too.

[@spudpud-T67]

Yes. The burr on the turning scraper only last a short while but you are only doing a few light finishing cuts, removing gouge undulations. I think you could experiment with different tips for your coring arm. I wonder if the central tooth on your tip is like a knife cutting the wood fibers before the shoulders grind out the wood. I wonder what a 3 prong tip might do (fork like). I like your dad's McNaughton system as it allows custom bowl shapes and his tool has a soldered on tip and this can be replaced at a saw doctors easily enough.

[@wortheffort]

the tip is like the spur on a forstner bit. keeps the arm stable.

[@awldune]

I wish there were somewhere you could rent a coring system.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

[@The_DC_Kid]

You ever tear a big chunk out of the center when you break loose a blank?

[@wortheffort]

No but I have made lampshades before.

[@The_DC_Kid]

It just seems to me that occasionally a hidden knot or other imperfection might be lurking exactly where the snap off point is, resulting in a tear out and some cussing. I've cruised this topic of lathing bowls very much, and since I'm an old guy with time to spare and quite a bit of woodworking experience and a wood shop with a dust-control system, I have decided to give this a try. I'm currently waiting for Grizzly to restock their 3hp 24" lathes, and I plan to get a oneway in order to (hopefully) create such beautifully crafted woodart. I guess I'll be watching the rest of your vids. If you know anything about the Grizzlys I could use some advice on whether to get a g0800 or g0835 (special bowl-turning rig with only 24" length capacity but costs $600 less than the longer one). About 10 years ago I bought a little harbor freight lathe just in case I ever wanted to turn a spindle, but I've never even used it to make anything and so I don't think I would ever need a big lathe for that purpose either.

[@chrisramsey8612]

When you are coring you can bring your tail stock up to support the core and keep the core from becoming a projectile.

[@wortheffort]

Not so much with the Oneway because of the center rotation point. But as you saw in the video it serves the same protective purpose if positioned correctly.

[@chrisramsey8612]

The EasyCore IS designed so the tailstock can be used for support. Call Kevin or Timen at Oneway and inquire. There is no protective purpose the way you have demonstrated the use of the system. I'm surprised you have not experienced a bowl blank to the face yet....give it time and you will make a few friends in the ER

[@wortheffort]

+Chris Ramsey well, they come loose occasionally, just as I showed in the video, and rattle around in the recess. The system holds it in nicely long enough to turn the machine off. I've never just let it sit there rattling around so can't say what will eventually happen so .... I have to move setup to get em out so it does a good job of protection. But by all means, if you can use a tail stock, use it. We did so in the McNaughton coring video.

[@wortheffort]

Again, I'm not an Inuit.

[@chrisramsey8612]

Why not core 6 bowls out of your blank? I core a 16" blank and my yield is double the way Oneway's video is demo'ed.

[@wortheffort]

Because the setup is for green wood. You have to allow for warpage as it dries. Anything thinner and it'd warp to a point it couldn't be turned a second time. Also I only bought those knives. If you're getting 6 cores outa a 16" blank then bravo, nothing here for you to learn. Post a video to show us how you're doing it so the rest of us can see how it's done.

[@chrisramsey8612]

I've had the EasyCore system since Oneway engineered and marketed it. All I turn is green wood--it is what the EasyCore was designed for. I am very familiar with wood movement, warping--my point was that you can improve your yield. I have made a video and when I get it edited I'll post it (of course there will be nothing for you to learn from it). From a 15 inch red oak burl I cored a total of 7 in the nested set. They warped and moved but not enough to make it impossible to turn.

[@wortheffort]

+Chris Ramsey then I give you credit. You're better at this than me. When I re-turn mine I end up with very thin bowls or inability to add design features.

[@chrisramsey8612]

You missed my point--it is not about who is better. It is about increasing your yield. I've turned every wood type available and there is room for design features without going too thin well within the warped core. If you are satisfied with three bowls from a 16" core then knock your self out. 6 bowls from the same size core is much like your screen name.....wortheffort

[@wortheffort]

Then for the other people who are reading this then. This gentlemen's getting 6 bowls. I only get 3 good ones because after turning away the warping and adding a rim I like I end up with something awfully thin. So two opinions. Get more bowls or make bowls you like. I'm happy with my end product. They aren't just thin hemispheres.
