Kelton Hollower Dig In
Hi all,I haven't posted here in a while, but I know this is where I
can get this question answered. I use the Kelton Hollower and love it. I have made some modifications. I had the bushings bored out to take the 3\4" bar from my Jamison unit as the small Kelton I have would only take a 5/8 bar. This really adds a lot of strenth to the system. I also use the teardop scraper from the Jamison and it works great for all I do. However, when I get to the last inch or so in the bottom of a hollow form, I get a dig in. I keep the cutter slightly below center and angled aroung 5 to 10 degrees. The other day I used the cutter on an open face natural faced vessel. I watched to see what happen's at the bottom. I got a dig. WHY? Should I raise the cutter? Change the angle? Heeeeelp....... I have just posted new work on my web site...take a look. Thanks for any help you might be able to give. http://www.maine-web.com/woodturning |
