So I went and turned a large 20"+ wet Sycamore Bowl to have a look at
the distortion and destroying that my Stronghold chuck jaws would bring
to bear on the portion gripped, as it turned out, there was no evidence
or any indication of any destruction nor other weakening of the portion
gripped to my observation, but maybe I'm wrong ??

To those that like to see any of the distortion caused, I have loaded
some pictures, so you can decide for yourself if the distortion and
destruction is really unacceptable, or just a figment of the imagination

nice work Leo. i enjoy your website. i think the "destruction" that most
people are crying about comes from the ribbed inside of the oneway jaws
when
they grip in compression mode.


And it would appear Neill that it is those same people that can't seem
to figure out how to make a decent/decorative foot on the bottom of a bowl
after gripping with the Oneway jaws. Sigh.............. It bears repeating
something that Kevin from Oneway has already stated in this
thread..............
