Good video. The info about having the right lathe and chuck was something I haven't seen anyone else mention. Glad to see you back turning wood. Hope the healing is going well. Wish I had the lathe and finances to get a coring attachment.

Hi Kerry, thank you very much for this video (Dan Hewitt gave me the link). I've been a Woodcut bowl saver (the one used in your video) since about a year now. I used to use the McNaughton for years before, I ended to sell it and bought the Woodcut that is much safer for me to use. I am considering going to the Max4 because I have a lot of deep bowl blanks waiting to be turned. However I will continue to use my current Woodcut bowl saver. One point that kinda hit me in your vidéo at 2'40: you said it is crucial that the blade has to be set 5 mm (10 mm for hard wood). I watched Phil Irons videos last year when I purchased the W.bowl saver, and if I remember well, his advice was to set the blade at perfect center, which I did when I started to use it. Never had a problem, except motor stalled sometimes (all of my timbers are wet/green wood and my lathe is Poolewood Euro2000, 2 HP) . I will consider to level the blade up to 5mm then. I fully follow the tenon rule. when I'm not, I am reminded right away by the blank flying off the lathe after 2 minutes coring :D Greeting from France ;)

Thank you for leaving a comment. I would have to say I haven't had too much trouble with setting it at centre height, as Phil suggested. But from now on, I set it 5-10mm high, and it works for me. I still get stalls in the motor from time to time, and it's a friendly reminder that I'm either rushing or need to give the blade a quick sharpen. I will be releasing a video tomorrow of the bowl saver in action again, and at the end, I show the height of the cutter. Thanks again for leaving a comment. Let me know how you go in the future and if you move up to the larger blades. Cheers, Kezza

Kerry, very helpful thanks. I could have sworn when I first set up my old bowl saver, they said cutter height at dead center spindle ht? But I think you’re absolutely correct it should be a bit higher depending on the timber hardness! I will ck and raise mine tomorrow! That finger looks great considering what it went through! Stay safe mate, send some summer weather towards Montana……..please!

@KerryCorney 9 ай бұрын

I initially set it at the center height when I first used it, but through trial and error, I found that positioning it 5mm above significantly improved performance. This approach was later confirmed by Woodcut, who informed me that other turners also prefer it higher. Let me know how you go mate. Cheers, Kez

@argerosconstantinou2964 9 ай бұрын

That is very helpful, thanks Kerry. I think the instructions say to have the cutter on centre height, but I have found it had a tendency to want to self feed or catch. Thanks for the tip. Have it above centre makes sense. I will adjust mine and have another go when I find a large enough bit of timber.

I really hope this helps, mate. Please keep me updated on your progress. I’ve noticed that even if there’s a slight shift due to vibration, you’ll still have some wiggle room. Kez

Which one did you buy mate? They have videos up on their channel youtube.com/@woodcuttoolsnz?si=EpbN4dOrEURuHflv I plan on creating more videos about the coring unit. Please always ask me, if you have any questions. If I can't answer them I will find the answer for you. Cheers Antony. Kezza

Great video. I have the Woodcut 4 system and have broken tenons. Now I know why, tenon too small and cutter right at centre. Thanks for this. Do you ever core dry wood? Should that be set up any differently?

@KerryCorney 9 ай бұрын

Sorry for the slow reply. No change to setup for dry wood. I take particular attention to the sharpness of the cutter and leave the height at 5mm. I just let the cutter make its way through with out to much force behind it. So really no change to my normal practice. Cheers Noel. Kez

Just a guess on my part but your outside shape of your largest bowl is just eyeballed. Have you set up a template for your rough shape on the outer bowl

I use the laser guide for all cores. Check this video that I made kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZq2qomGoL6tm7csi=9dwYTukLUISGnETY and skip to 9:40 I show how the last bowl is cored out. Cheers, Rod. Kez

Great video Kerry! I bought my bowl saver last year but haven't used it yet, so I'll be watching this a few times before I do. Unfortunately, I only have a 300mm swing over the bed of the lathe, so what's the smallest size bowl you can core?

@KerryCorney 9 ай бұрын

You can core anything (within reason). It's more about having the power there to core bowls. Does that make sense? Cheers Nathan. Kezza

@@KerryCorney Gotcha! I'm assuming it's ideal to be coring green timber, but any idea what it's like on dry timber?

@KerryCorney 9 ай бұрын

@@nathanaeverson You're spot on. I core it when dealing with a prized piece or rare timber. It depends on the type of timber. But yes, for sure, it's something you can do.
