Another excellent article Lyn. As I was reading it one thing that would
have been useful was a table...and you had that at the end. Still, there is
more info that could make the table a good reference. Stuff like lathe
swing range (10" min - 16"max), core sizes (xxx min, xxx max), retail price,
replaceable tip (Y, N), tip metal (M2, M4, etc).

I've been thinking about getting a corer, and this article really helped lay
out the different decision points.
