After 4 years of turning a lot of wood, I still get catches. But they
haven't been disastrous for about 3.5 years now - they're usually just a
spiral gouge that screws up a bead on my last finessing pass. Ain't that
always the way?


Why is that, Owen?!? And that "last finessing pass" could easily be done
with the 120 grit tool. : ) Have you ever had a really cool spiral
gouge and wish you could intentionally reproduce it?

120 tool - haven't got one. My coarsest tool is 220.

I have tried to get the spiral intentionally, but with a 500 RPM lowest
speed it's a toughie.
