It can be a bit tricky purchasing all the components for this Oneway Coring System, so I'll break this down for you step by step:
Step 1 - Base Unit Size
Measure the distance from the center of the headstock to the top of the rails
• 6 inches, purchase amzn.to/2zZH3Xs Oneway Easy-Core 12" Mini Coring System*
• 8 inches, purchase amzn.to/2Pn9XGg Oneway Easy-Core 16" Base Set
• 10 inches, purchase amzn.to/2RwxHcF Oneway Easy-Core 20" Base Set
• 12 inches, purchase amzn.to/2RtPlO9 Oneway Easy-Core 24" Base Set
Step 2 - Mounting Plate
Measure the distance or gap between the bedways or rails.
• 1-1/2" space between rails, purchase amzn.to/2ylTYAZ Oneway Clamp Block 1-1/2" Gap
• 1-7/8" space between rails, purchase amzn.to/2NvDlbs Oneway Clamp Block 1-7/8" Gap
• 2-1/2" space between rails, purchase amzn.to/2ynx24r Oneway Clamp Block 2-1/2" Gap
At this point the Oneway Easy-Core 12" Mini Coring System is complete, no other items are needed other than a amzn.to/2Cijbji sharpening jig to sharpen the blade.
Step 3 - Knife Sets
The size and number of knife sets depend on the size of bowls being cored. One knife set is required to cut a bowl at the indicated size. You can always add more knife sets later. I use two knife sets to core 9" and 11-1/2" bowl out of 14" or larger initial bowls and they work great. *Please note - the knife set is included with the 12" Mini Coring System amzn.to/2RxXhxL
• Oneway Easy-Core 9" Knife Set amzn.to/2RvkQaq
• Oneway Easy-Core 11-1/2" Knife Set amzn.to/2ylU9MF
•Oneway Easy-Core 13" Knife Set
Step 4 - Accessories
• Blade sharpening jig amzn.to/2NuNyVy (this makes it possible to hold the small cutting blade by hand at the grinder for sharpening)
• Replacement Easy-Core Cutter amzn.to/2pIek3F (this is not necessary, but nice to have available if a cutting blade gets lost

Kent is the only woodturner who explains in detail what he is doing, and more importantly, why he is doing it. Everybody else seems to want you to appreciate their expertise but without explanations. Thank you Kent!

ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME!!!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you Anne!!! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@siph2o]

I called Oneway Manufacturing after placing my order for the full set of coring tools in the hope of getting a link with video instructions. There reply was a link to THIS video! Way to go Kent! Manufacturer approved! My coring set is now in transit, and I hope to have it in my shop in a few days! I'm sure I'll re-watch this video 50 times by then. Thanks for all the tips! (the Glen Lucas locking lever set is also on order!)

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Fantastic Frank! Thanks for sharing! That was nice of Oneway! And I think you'll like the Glenn Lucas levers. Well actually, to really appreciate the levers, you need to use the original bolts with a wrench for awhile. Rack your knuckles on the lathe rails a few times when the wrench slips off and THEN you really appreciate the GL levers. LOL All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@siph2o]

By the way,, have you tried the Hunter Tool carbide coring cartridge system? I hear its like the lever locks, you have to use the oneway cutters before you really appreciate them. I hear you can get 200 bowl cores from one 40 dollar cutter.

[@rongotts3865]

Did know this tool existed I’m impressed it dose an impressive job.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Yes, it's pretty cool Ron. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@chrisjohnston2449]

I consider myself a very lucky (fairly new) turner. In a past life I was a forester. People who know me are always asking for my help cutting trees down. Lucky for me, they are always willing to give me as many blanks as I can carry home. Even with an almost endless supply of wood I still love to use the oneway coring system. I like your way of marking out the size of the bowls with the marker. I will certainly use this tip. I have a little tip to pass on. Before I start to core the first bowl I put a mortise tenon in the smallest bowl. This allows me to mount it to the chuck to create a tenon on the bottom and turn out the first bowl. Then if I have another bowl from the big blank I invert it inside the outside bowl to make a friction fit to make a tenon on it for future use once time has passed to second turn it.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you for writing and sharing Chris! Sounds like you won't have any trouble finding material to turn. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Nice video. Glen Lucas sells an after-market set of handles that allow quick release and re-tightening of the support finger. Well worth the money in my opinion. Totally eliminates the wrench.

[@rickeypage5971]

Loving your videos. I have been turning for over 20 years and have the ONEWAY coring system. Made a multiple state move which meant I haven't turned for almost 3 years. Getting back and this was an excellant refresher. Have always had an issue with depth of cut and the idea of putting scraps between bowls is great. I hadn't thought of that and it will allow more shelf space while they are drying. And yes, I have bowls 5-6 years old that I didn't forget about but was just turning something else. Again, thanks.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Awesome, so glad this helped Rickey! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@donbeveridge997]

You mentioned the levers that Glenn Lucas has, I have them and they are genius! I highly recommend them.

[@kevinbooth2063]

Kent, I get my oneway coring system tomorrow. This really has wet my appetite as I have about 30 linear feet of black walnut so I’m really stoked. It would be nice to see how you turn the tenons on the inner bowls. I think I have watched all of you videos at least once if not more. Thanks for the informative videos. I would live to come and visit you. Keep up the good work.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you for writing and sharing! Exciting to start coring, I agree. Basically, the middle blank is pinned to a flat jam chuck and held with the tailstock. Then you form a tenon on the base like most other bowls and shape the exterior. I'll do a video on this down the road. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@badaxecraft]

Hello, where can we buy it. l want to surprise my dad he loves doing woodturning

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you so much. I genuinely appreciate you! Happy Turning!

[@charliemckay6402]

I am a tool and die maker. The first thing I would do with the core saver is replacing the screws with TE-CO case hardened studs ($3), flange (collar) nuts ($5), and washers ($1) used on milling machines. The cost would be about $20. The results are the threads in the base plate are preserved because the studs are Locktited in place and wrench slippage is virtually non-existent because the nuts have a heavier profile. If you want to go all the way use TE-CO swivel flange nuts for total comfort, stability when tightening, and safety ($12 each but last forever).

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Charlie, that sounds great. Thanks for sharing. I have purchased a set of levers from Glenn Lucas, who also uses this system. They are working great. I got tired of sore knuckles. LOL Happy Turning!

[@pppppppppp7749]

Oh wow, thank you! I know when I started coring seemed like a mystery as well. Ha! Glad to help. Happy Turning!

[@wakelywanderer12]

If you put a mortise in the top of your blank, you can use it to put a tenon on the smaller blanks by removing the large blank first and working your way down.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Yes, that's another way of doing this process. Happy Turning!

[@nsegraves933]

I ordered mine last week so this is very timely. I have two halves of a large black walnut crotch that will be the first test. Oh and one point is that they now sell carbide tips.

[@scottsimpey2965]

I’ve been wanting to get into coring for a while but haven’t been sure about what system to get where there is a few different brands out there. You made the one way seem very simple to use and set up compared to what I’ve heard about others.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Scott, yes it's not too bad. A bit confusing at first, but once set up its straight forward. Be sure to get the right parts for your swing height. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@alanandkarenrouse747]

Nice video, Kent. My bowls are almost always twice turned. I use left over latex paint to paint the bowls to dry. I have had good luck wit it, and I get rid of my old paint also. I have been interested in the coring systems, but have never seen them in action. Now that I have, I am going to see if I can find one that I can use on my lathe. I'm sure I can as there are many types out there, and everyone is THE BEST THING SINCE GREEN WIRE!! Thanks.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks for sharing. Happy Coring!

[@tonydemasi5538]

I follow pretty much what you showed but I also will put a recess in the middle before I do any coring. That allows me to reverse the small core easily to work on the bottom.

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Happy Turning!

[@vladimirlobanev1076]

Отличное решение.!👍🤝👏

[@feetachemail]

Great video, as usual! I doubt if I'll ever need one of these because I simply don't have the space for a bigger lathe that could handle anything that large, but it's still nice to know how the coring systems work. Thanks!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

You're welcome. Glad you liked this. Happy Turning!

[@TimAshleyWoodworks]

Good info Kent! I totally would've made one bowl and left a giant pile of shavings. That coring system is now on my to-get list 👍

Thanks 👍 Yes, i was there too. After shoveling carts of shavings, I had to get this going. So glad I have. Happy Turning!

[@HiramWoodworking]

Thank you Kent! I have the Oneway core saver and have had a few mishaps trying to figure out how to most effectively core. I was having issues not using the right knife and going though the sidewall of the blank I was coring. It was a nightmare. Wasted all the cores of a beautiful 18” birch crotch. Thank you for all the tips. Love your videos.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

You're very welcome. Glad to help. Happy Turning!

Okay. I guess I should have waited to the end of your video to ask about the extension. Thanks!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

No worries! ;)

[@rickgibson7876]

Makes me wish I could justify getting a coring system. Was given 3 large walnut burls that I could get at least 2 bowls out of and possibly 3 from the larger one. They have been sitting in my shop for a couple years now because I am having a hard time turning so much of that burl into shavings.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

I think the walnut burl alone is enough to justify the coring system. But that's me. ;) Happy Turning!

[@rroe5718]

Excellent video and really helped me setup and use my brand new Oneway 12" mini Coring system on my 12" lathe. Only issue I had was not having enough clearance over the post of the main knife holder. The diameter of the live center kept me from getting past that post which is on center above the knife post......Any suggestions would be appreciated....thanks

[@dlawson716]

Do you have a video on choosing a coring system? Or pros and cons of different brands/styles? I have alot of 18-20" walnut. I hate turning it all into shavings. Alot of work.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Donny, I've stuck with the Oneway system because it works great and is relatively easy to use. Happy Turning! Kent

[@arthurdworetz2115]

I just started using the easy core and had good success following your very good instruction. I have the 9 in blade which makes blanks between 11 and 7 inches in diameter, and 3.5 in deep. I made one miscalculation thinking that a 9 in blade would make a 4.5 in deep blank, so my 11 in diam bowl 2 of 3 has a 1 1/8 in rim but a base that is about 3/8 in. Do you have any ideas about how to salvage this blank since the base is too thin to make a tenon. Also, I notice that you do not empty the interior of the smallest blank. I assume that this is not a problem for cracking even though it does not have walls of even thickness. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Arthur, It does take a bit of practice at first. Sounds like you're getting it figured out. Usually the small blanks stay intact. It all depends on the wood and your environment. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@jarrodderr]

I don’t pretend to know everything, but I felt the urge to do a air compressor blast like 34 times during this video. Is there a good reason you don’t do little air spits from a compressor to get rid of chips on your bolts and in between the blanks?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

You can. It's easier to just brush it off, because there's plenty more where that came from. ;)

[@loucinci3922]

Nice Demo Kent. You make it look so easy. I wonder why you didn't clean up the bottom of (#2) bowl once the first bowl popped out - like you did on the third bowl? Good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

I find the middle bowls don't usually have too many issues with cracking. Also, I coat all the center areas with Anchorseal. Happy Turning!

[@youmbgtube]

Kent - I'm in the process of ordering this system. I agree you give a better explanation than most. Since I'm new to this jig I want to clear a few things up. I realize when you are making the video your mind is focused on more than one thing plus camera angles can play tricks on measurements. I have a couple of questions: 1) At about 18:14 in the video you say 6mm but it looks like 7+mm. Which is the correct layout point? 2) At 18:26 you measure from the face of the blank to the mark for the small bowl and said 7.5mm but later it looks like 8.5mm or 9mm. Do I have this correct, if the mark is 7.5 from the face the dot on the jig should be 5.5mm (13mm-7.5mm) and not 4mm from the face? Thanks

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Hello Mike, Yes, lol, I need to have a disclaimer on all my videos "metric measurements used with loose mental calculations on-the-fly during this filming." Ha! I'm an Imperial fractional guy, just the way I was raised. So, metric, while seemingly incredible simple, is a second language to me and I'm trying really hard to be able to do mental conversions and just throw them out as I film. All your suggested replacement measurements are probably 100% accurate. ;) Happy Turning! Kent

[@youmbgtube]

@@TurnAWoodBowl Ha - no problem. I received my base/knife sets this week and excited to try out the jig this weekend. Looking at the Oneway base it looks like my laser guide for my hollowing system can work to approximate the depth of the cut. I will take it slow like you suggest.

[@DubbleD69]

Thanks for another great video Kent! But I can’t help but wonder, how do you turn the 2 inside blanks? Neither has a tenon..

Good question! Here's the answer kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5myhqyYmatlrdE All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@donbeveridge997]

Hey Kent, how about a video coring live or natural edge. Just a thought.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

I'll see what I can do. Happy Turning!

[@danielcross6815]

Excellent work as usual, Kent. Can you comment on the process I have seen a few times whereby the turner creates a mortise on the face of the whole blank then cuts out the largest bowl core first? Then creates a tenon for the next core. Seems like an efficient possible technique.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Yes, that is another way and it can work fine. I like being able to knock out two bowls without remounting the main large bowl. Happy Turning!

[@jontoolman]

Great video Kent. Thanks for sharing. How do you put the tenon on the cored out bowl blanks? Thanks again.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Use a jam chuck and the tailstock. I'll do a video on it, because it gets asked enough. Happy Turning!

[@johnwilliams9783]

where did you purchase the Glenn Luca Locking levers. Thanks for all your videos and great teaching style.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

From Glenn Lucas' website. Look in his online shop. Happy Turning!

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

How do you handle the fact that the two interior blanks don't have a tenon on them? What happens when you are ready to turn those, how do you mount them?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

There's plenty of material. Once the blanks dry, I'll turn a tenon, shape the exterior, flip it, then turn the interior. Happy Turning!

[@jontoolman]

What size cutting knives did you use to cut the two inner bowls? Thank you.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

11" and 9" I believe.

[@jeffwalters3735]

Really cool to see the One Way in action. Did you use the same knife for both bowls?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks. Yes, I did. The first cut was smaller than the #1 knife width so the center was overlapped. The second cut was exactly the size of the #1 knife. If the blank was about 2" wider, I would have made the first cut with the #1 and the second cut with the #2 knife. Thanks for asking. Happy Turning!

[@tomcoker9882]

Thanks for the video demo of the ONEWAY coring system. Have you used some of the other systems, such as the Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver System or the McNaughton Center-Saver System? If so, could you review the and comparisons them to the Oneway. Prows/cons and such. Thanks. Stay safe and well to keep the videos coming. Cheers, Tom

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Not yet! I do understand that the McNaughton is a bit more "organic" in the shapes and curves that can be created, vs. the fixed arc of the Oneway system. When I check it out I'll make a video. Happy Turning!

@@TurnAWoodBowl Thanks Kent. Looking forward to it. I’m thinking of getting a system and reviews such as you showed in this video are very helpful. Thanks again. Cheers, Tom

[@anthonymax6395]

Hi Kent .. I am relatively new and a coring system will perhaps be usefully down the line. .I watched the video anyway you never know what you can pickup. You mentioned a passive dryer and a light bulb when off . I have been using a microwave to dry blanks.. I have a clothes dryer with a removeable platform where you can place items that you want to dry without tumbling.. Would that be good/better than using microwave. Advantage would be I could fit larger pieces.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Wow, I've never heard that one. My guess is the dryer would be too hot. We want to "coax" the moisture out, not cook it. Moisture reduction too quickly will cause cracking. Happy Turning!

[@davidshaper5146]

If you own the #2 knife, I'm not sure why you moved the base to use your #1 again. Also, I think you're supposed to square the base to the bed. The cutter lasts long in green wood. Hard, dry wood is tough to core, and I've sharpened 5-6 times on one bowl.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

This blank was a bit smaller than others. The first cut was smaller than the #1 knife so the center was overlapped. The second cut was exactly the size of the #1 knife. If the blank was about 2" wider, I would have made the first cut with the #1 and the second cut with the #2 knife. Thanks for asking. Happy Turning!

[@discardo]

One problem I see with the coring system is how to hold that middle bowl when you finish turning it? You don't have a tenon or a mortise to hold on to. Just wondering. 😁

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

I thought that too when I first did this. Actually, as long as you turn these thick like these, there's plenty of material to form a tenon and finish the bowl. Happy Turning!

[@michaellombard4544]

Take the middle blank and turn it around. The large blank (still on the headstock) will act as a jam chuck with the tailstock holding the middle blank firm. Then turn whatever size tenon or recess you want. I've done this a couple of dozen times now and it works like a champ. The down side, and for my money worth the effort, is that you have to remove the coring base plate from the ways to do this.

[@kasperbachhansen8693]

I’ve noticed that you don’t have any dust extraction in the area of view? Do you have any dust extraction in your workshop and if so, what kind, and how does your setup look like?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Currently, I do not. I have plans for a new shop that will have a dust collector. I wear a full respirator at all times when turning. Happy Turning!

[@MD-en3zm]

What are your thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of the oneway vs mcnaughton systems?

[@carpdude73]

Kent, you mention drying in a microwave, what are your thoughts about drying in a kitchen oven?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Good question. I'm sure an oven can be used but it would need to be very low and for a long period of time. A simple insulated box with a light bulb is the best way if you want to go that route. Happy Turning!

[@JonCheek-p2b]

Are the heights of the coring system adjustable? My lathe has an “outboarding” capacity of 28” but I only see a post system for 26” max on the website.

Üstat ellerine sağlık çok güzel işler yapıyorsun. Bu torna ve aparattan benimde olmasını çok istiyorum. Nasıl temin edebilirim. İyi çalışmalar dilerim.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Çok teşekkürler! Kullandığım torna Robust Tools: Homewww.turnrobust.com Türkiye'ye gönderim yapabilirler mi bilmiyorum ama kontrol etmeye değer. Size en iyi ve Mutlu Dönüşler!

On the largest bowl you have a tenon to return it with, what do you do for the other cores? I’ve seen where they take the largest core first then make tenons for each core.. though it’s not as fast it seems .

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Kyle, check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5myhqyYmatlrdE Happy Turning!

[@johnb7430]

How do you make tenon to mount the inner bowls?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Good question. I mount the dry bowl rim to a large flat circle jam chuck held with the tailstock. Then I form the tenon and shoulder just as I do with all other bowls. There is plenty of material since we made this piece thick and even. Happy Turning!

[@johnb7430]

@@TurnAWoodBowl can you go into more detail on jamb chucks? I can never get them centered enough.

[@Mortalis2]

Do you have your lathe bolted to the floor? Even though I have a midi size lathe, if I was to turn a blank relatively sized for my lathe at the speed you seemed to be turning this blank, my lathe would be dancing across the floor.. I noticed when you got to the inclusion the camera started to shake. Just wondering......not criticizing.

[@Mortalis2]

Great Info on the coring system. My wife let know that Father's day is right around the corner. ;-p

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

No, my lathe is not anchored. It weighs about 500 lbs and is usually very stable. I have my camera on an extended boom and occasionally if all the joints aren't tight, or if a tiny part of the stand touches the lathe, vibration will show. It makes it look like I'm riding out a California sized earthquake. Ha! ;) Happy Turning!

[@federicohorta6314]

good afternoon Ken i want to get the one way coring system but a have a laguna 18/36 lathe so which base l get the 16 inch or the 20 inch. thank you for all your tips

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Good question. I would think the 16" should reach to the 18" center height. Check with Oneway first. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@spiritwynd]

Hi Kent! I'm thinking about getting a one-way coring jig, and I'm wondering what kind of HP motor is recommended? My lathe is only a 3/4 hp.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

That might be a bit underpowered especially if you get into any larger blanks.

[@lmallard3788]

I looked for the lathe you are using in your provided links, but did not find the lathe. I checked it twice. What is your lathe- brand and model number? Maximum swing? Thanks.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

I turn on a Robust Sweet 16. The Robust lathes are made in Wisconsin. If you contact them, tell Brent (the owner) he needs to start sending commission checks my way. LOL Kidding…sorta. ;) Happy Turning! Kent

BOA NOITE SENHOR, PODERIA ME DIZER DEPOIS DE APLICAR ESSE CELANTE , QUANTO TEMPO DEMORA PRA QUE SE POSSA TRABALHAR A MADEIRA ??

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Olá. O selante secará em cerca de uma hora e está claro. Acho que é isso que está perguntando. Quando você girar a tigela mais tarde, o selante será removido com as camadas externas. Espero que isso ajude. Feliz Transformação!

[@Pabloos8634]

C’est superbe Ce type d’outils s adapte t-il sur des petits tours à bois midi 1 ? Pour la cire de cellage comment s’appelle t’elle pour la commander merci bonne continuation 👍👍

[@jameskoehn4331]

Ken, where do you get the long tail stock live center? I've tried doing a search and can't find one. Is it special made.? # 2 How thick should the blank be to get 3 bowls. I have the oneway 9" and the 11.5" cutter.

[@JDDupuy]

Bought the cutters and CNC'ed the other overpriced parts on my 200K CNC. Thank goodness I already had the CNC. Lol!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

That's awesome! I guess that's a "savings?" Sounds like a fun "tool!" Happy Turning!

[@davidnickell9381]

You made a tenon on the bottom of the outside bowl for remounting when you twice turn it. How will you mount the other two to return them?

[@DanielStewartWoodturning]

probably on the spur chuck

[@Mortalis2]

Use the larger bowl as a jam chuck and use the live center in the tail stock.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Good question. I mount the dry bowl rim to a large flat circle jam chuck held with the tailstock. Then I form the tenon and shoulder just as I do with all other bowls. There is plenty of material since we made this piece thick and even. Happy Turning!

[@mikemoore4443]

What size jaws were you using while coring? I use a larger jaw when coring then switch to a more standard size when I true up the tendon for the 2nd turning.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

150mm I believe.

[@jimbalz3017]

How do you mount the cored bowls when you turn them? There's no tenon.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Video to come. Stay tuned. Happy Turning!

[@edwinbaker9916]

Love the video, but way too many ads. Enjoy your teaching style as well.

[@timothypociask4963]

How do you mount the bowl on the lathe for the final turning?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Tim, I use a large-faced jam chuck. Happy Turning!

[@exotictones1054]

What's wrong with the old school way of drying in a old fridge with the light bulb in the bottom.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Nothing at all, you can do that. Happy Turning!

[@mikethompson7290]

My wife saw another coring system and thought i need it, I was looking any saw your video, looked up and saw this kit type so what parts should you have to make this oneway tool complete? I also am getting a new fullsized lathe, just not sure what onw I should get, got 3k to spend.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Great question, Mike. I've spelled it all out here turnawoodbowl.com/how-order-set-up-oneway-coring-system-easy-core-bowl/ All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@mikethompson7290]

@@TurnAWoodBowl Another thought, Will a system like this work well on a glued up blank made from say 14x14 3/4 hard maple ? I read that the coring system is best used on semi wet wood. What do you think?

[@wantlessobject]

Kent, what HP is the motor in your lathe? I'm in the market for a new one and I really like the sweet 16. Although I do think that its a bit on the pricy side. Would you recommend it? Is there something you would like to change about it?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Good question. Two horses. The best part is they don't require feeding. ;) It is not cheap, but it is a workhorse. There are a few minor things I'd change, but those have been addressed with the 2.0 model now. Here's the thing. If you are creating, you don't want the tools or equipment to get in the way of the process. That's why I love this lathe. It's rock solid and performs whether I'm turning a small bowl or a 75 lb. rough blank. I don't have to work around its limitation. It's more like my partner in the turning process. Also, read this turnawoodbowl.com/robust-sweet-16-wood-lathe-review/ Happy Turning!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Also, if you get one, please tell Brent (the owner of Robust) he should pay me for helping with your sale. ;) LOL

[@wantlessobject]

Thanks for the link. Definitely a good read. I especially like your idea about the braking. And yes, lol. If I do I will mention that to them. Honestly they should sponsor you.

[@TheTranq]

Would you recommend this over the Mcnaughton coring system?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Perhaps. I have not used the Mcnaughton system yet. Happy Turning!

[@tick_magnetedschaper5611]
