Woodcut bowlsaver: In reply to he recent post.
Our bowlsaver will work extreemly well on lathes from 1/2 hp upwards. The
two main benifits are 1) The bowlsaver attaches to the tailstock as well as
the tool post, thus dividing the force between the two.
2) The Bowlsaver works from a pivot point (as does the Oneway) which enables
the user to accurately determine the point of entry and depth the cutter
enters the wood.
This is essential for maximum use of the wood.
We use only two blades which remove bowls 3"- 12" from a 16" blank, simply
by moving the point of entry anywhere accross the bowl face. Depth of cut is
achieved simply by moving the unit closer to or away from the bowl blank.
Our Woodcut bowlsaver is the most efficient unit for coring from a bowl
blank and two Kiwi professionals have cored more then 1000 bowls in the last
18 months using the one set of blades.
If you dont believe me I have some photos
Our system comes with an instructional video and is idealy suited to the Jet
or any lathe. The tool post is threaded in and you simply upgrade the post
when changing lathes.
I am available for feedback

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?
