I have been very hesitant since the reviews are not all that good.

Those who know how to use swear by it as being the fastest and most efficient. It does have a learning curve..... robo hippy

I bought mine about a year ago. Immediately ordered Robo's video, watched it several times. Went out and cored my first nested set, successfully. Bought Mahoney's video, picked up a few pointers from that video as well. So far, 8 - 10 corings and no funnels.

Just finished watching Dale's video and added a few more arrows to my quiver with the information he presented.

Learning curve? Yes! Bad tool? No!

Surprisingly I had more problems on the first try when using it on the PM 3520. I quickly learned that I had to hold back to prevent the cutters from self feeding. After that all went well.

Very well done. I have watched Mike M's video and others on the web as well. \this one really helped me put it all together in my brain. The time spent on explaining the lay out and visually picking a target for starting the cut helped me the most. I bougth the tool and my lathe was too small bang head to power the bowl saving activity. I upgraded my lathe to a Vicmarc 300

and now the speed control is much more repeatable and doesn't change when cutting. I will be out there in my shop coring out blanks with confidence to try these tips. Thanks for sharing. smiley=dankk2.gif

Out of the box there is a learning curve. I tired to error on the thick side so I didn't make funnels. I like it and it has made a grunch of bowls where without it there would be chips on the floor. It is well worth it! I wish I had any video when I got mine, this explains allot that they don't tell you about positioning.

I bought my McNaughton about 3 years ago and I have had varying degrees of success.
I know the majority of this is due to set up.
However, I believe my post is too long as I can not quite get the cutter directly on center.
I have a Jet 1642.
Anyone else notice this?
BTW I have only had 1 funnel....
Clearly my fault as I took a deeper than ordinary plunge...bad positioning.

Or is the top of the banjo hitting the bottom of the swivel? Either way it sounds like hacksaw time on one or the other. On my lathe I am lucky to have enough room to use a clamp collar to set the height.

Just this week I checked it using Dales method of using the straight blade to find center and I was dead on with still a bit of movement left before bottoming out. Ron C

LOL My dad has an old Atlas Metal Lathe and I am going to take a little off the bottom of the post. I have cored quite a few bowls as it is, but I think this slight modification may help. Today, I cored honey locust and it seemed to be good.

It got stuck about 10 minutes in. Didn't get to any of the good stuff yet. I'll have to try again tomorrow. Went back and manually moved the point where it stuck on me. Watched through without interruption. Some great points. Again, I learnt something.
