Mac,

No. What I was referring to is the frequent interference of the banjo as you
begin to get near max diameter on bowls. The 6" side reaches over the ways
with the banjo out of the way much better.

As far as round goes, just seemed smoother to use with gouges.

You mean that it's easier to bend over the lathe now, Tom?
