McNaughton system (med. size) is more versatile, but there are a couple of
wrinkles...

power - can be done with some care on a 1 hp machine; see the posts from the
ingenious guy on this list, apologies - name forgotten - who worked out a
kind of pulsing system

clearance between top of banjo and lathe centre - some lathes don't have
enough, so contact the McNaughton importer/dealer and check

I was trying to decide which coring system to get. Being that I have a Jet
JWL-1236 and am fairly new to it, I was having some trouble deciding. I'm
looking at the McNaughton System, and the Woodcut Bowl Saver. After
reading
some of this group's archives, I've found that perhaps my lathe is a bit
underpowered for the McNaughton System. So, leaning toward the Woodcut
Bowl
Saver, I have a few questions for those who have one, and hopefully, those
who also own the same lathe as I. I'd like to hear some comments about the
Bowlsaver's use on underpowered lathes. Can I expect it to work well with
my
Jet, or is this a pipe dream that I would be able to use ANY of this type
tool on my lathe? Also, I'm a bit confused from the Bowlsaver's website, I
can't decide what comes in the kit. Is it just one size tool (for a single
size core), or is it a complete set like the McNaughton System? Also, to
simplify my ordering process, if I decide to go that way, which size tool
post does my lathe have?
