Good afternoon Mr Jim. Go Canada!!! My husband does not comment on YT, so i will tell you what he thinks about you and your work. He loves you and your work!!! He always says that he has learned so much from your videos. Last year he got the Oneway Coring System after watching several of your coring videos. And of course he had to get a vacuum chuck after seeing you use yours. Now he wants me to order him the Hunter Korpro Cartridge that fits the Oneway Coring System. The only thing he dislikes about the Oneway Coring System is sharpening the cutter. Other than that he loves the Oneway Coring System. He says that he has learned so much from you, such as the "H" and inlays. Currently he is in his workshop inlaying natural turquoise and Milliput in a bowl. So my friend keep the videos coming. We always watch your videos and give then a thumbs up. Greetings from rural upstate New York, USA. Namaste. 👍👍🏿👍🏼👍🏾👍🏻☮💝😷
Thanks Vicki, glad to see you comment, thought I’d lost you, lol. I’m glad that I’ve been a inspiration to him, it’s comments like yours that keep me energized! ✌️
I'm using the McNaughton system which is great for me since I got it for half price, and only core a dozen or so blanks a year. When the chips stop the cut I have found that if you rotate the bowl in reverse by hand, with the tool engaged, you will clear the chips 95% of the time. My friend has the One Way and that works for him too. Cheers!
Just got my Oneway system and did my first coring yesterday. Buddies told me about the Kor pro and your video sold me on one. Thanks for the great review!
I have had the oneway coring tool for several years and only do a few blanks a year. I am starting to save for the Carter hollowing cutter, but the laser set up tool blows my mind. Why haven’t I heard of or seen one until now. Building one next time I get to the shop. Thanks
Thanks Jim I just got one. When I core I set up just like you but when I core I do the biggest bowl first. Then I put the center piece with the tenon in the chuck and create the bottom tenon and so on. It's not what Oneway says but it works for me...
I kind of made a little squeak the first cut it was so sharp that was so cool watching you do that I'm glad you found something that makes your life easier
Just a little fyi. I waited till I went through all your videos before I watched this. I never would have thought that those cutters were so expensive for the size. But thank you for all the info. Love to watch you work.
Wow! What difference. It looks like it cuts a little wider slot but so much easier. I love how you can get multiple bowls out of one blank with your setup. I just have a midi lathe right now but will move up soon to a full size. When I do I’m grabbing one of this setups! Great video. 👍🏻
mornin Jim,thank you for the demo,have ordered a lathe from One way and a bowl cutter,have some of their chucks ,I'm a BC man and didn't want a off shore machine,have a midi Rykon,works, but wanted a grown up one,takes a couple months to build, looking forward to try this,thanks again
I was just on Mike's website last weekend for the first time. He also has some very interesting carbide bowl gouges (#2 Hunter Osprey Tool). Great demo, Jim!!
Great video I will be ordering one of these in the very near future. Not just the longevity of the cutter but also the speed at which it cuts. Thanks for the video.
Question for you Jim. Do you find the best cutting is when the cutter is set at the dead center or slightly above center? I seem to do fine at dead center with cherry, walnut, etc. but have been struggling with hickory. It catches quite a bit and tries to stall my lathe. These carbide cutters are so much more aggressive than HSS that it makes me wish I had 3 HP.
Just a very slight adjustment above center works best for me. Your right, the cutters are so sharp its very easy to take too much material off and have a catch. I can stall my two horse quite easily as well. Thanks for watching!
I am glad it worked well for you. I made the switch from McNaughton to Oneway recently. After spending that much money for the full Oneway system, I don't think I am quite ready to pull the trigger on these cutters, as awesome as they are. I am just a hobbyist and not production turning. At least we sent some good business their way. I wonder If I could get one of the HSS cutters converted to a carbide holder?
At 11:30 in this video I show I do it. ua-cam.com/video/fA0B45ulkxE/v-deo.html You could also use a vacuum chuck to put a tenon on the bottom as well. Thanks
Hunter tools came highly recommended so I bought two of their unhandled hollowing tools and they are very good. Great company. Glad to learn from this video on the Coring cutters, too.
I knew you would like it. Glad it worked and I am glad you take time to read the comments. Also The other benefit is if you have a lower horsepower lathe you can get away with this cutter and core bowls.
Jim, thanks for the testing and review. Chances are good Hunter Is sending out quite a bit of merchandise after your vid came out. I have the OW coring system too. In addition to your points the Hunter cutters are worth it too from the “weary arm” aspect of coring., less force makes turning/coring more enjoyable.
Happy for you, Jim! I've heard you say on more than one occasion that the One Way cutters for coring are not optimal. I can clearly see you are much more satisfied with the end result now. Must be a huge time saver with less sharpening!
Great Review. My Oneway Coring is stuck in Customs in Chicago, but I already got the Hunter cartridges. I'll also make a review when I get the system. Aloha from Maui
I usually go through and read all the comments. There's one talking about the chip breaker on the insert. I'm a machinist by trade. In my spare time I've made many different carbide tools for turning wood. And in my experience I've found that the carbine cutters with chip breakers actually make it much more difficult to turn the wood. Its like using an extremely dull tool. So I was surprised to see that insert work as well as it did. Always good to find tools that make the job easier.
Yeah..I thought that about the chip breakers as well..looks like what they use are CCMT21.51. I'm going to make some holders for my oneway system...might try some CCMW...No chip breaker. 29 bux for 1 insert blew my mind! That's insane.
@@wantlessobject sure looked like they did in the video..I've never used a tool with a chip breaker on wood...coring is a different animal though than turning..
@@MikeB0001 I will agree. I've never done any coring. I don't have the tool for it. Just glad that Jim found something that works and lasts. If you ever get a chance try using just the seat. They r cheaper. I've been using them for roughing out bowl interiors. They work great. Also, I remember Jim saying that he would like a tool that sets the insert at a 45°. So I've been working on a prototype to possibly send him to try out. He does way more turning then I do.
The one-way cutter that you show in the beginning of the video does not look sharpened. I assume you're sharpening the face of that where the screw goes in?
The cutter , yes it’s new out of the box and sharp. The reason their so hard to sharpen is because you need to sharpen the top then the point top side then the bottom side and there’s not much room for error. Jim.
@@SpragueWoodturning the ones I got I had to sharpen out of the box, and I sue the jig that helps a lot. I am curious on the cutter you got. I know Glen Lucas is using them and I saw how they cut. I use the cup cutters for my hollowing tools and they are incredible sharp. Hey great videos.
When you do the math, the more "expensive" tool is cheaper in the end. No lost time at the grinder and not having to purchase a new one every other project. Plus it shows us you are dedicated to fine craftsmanship 🥰
Great video I just ordered the oneway mini 12 yesterday it comes tomorrow but I have a question how are you holding the blank to the lathe we discussed it at the woodturners meeting and they say they all use faceplates and long screws are you using the hot glue thank you
Hi Jim, I am wondering : the wood chips seem to stack on top of the metal arm that hols the cutter, because the 45 degree metal angle slop is keeping them here. Could this be attenuated if the holder arm was manufactured with that slope under the arm, the cutter screwed really on top of the arm ? Would also ease blowing the chips with compressed air. Perhaps that way, a one-move continuous cut could be possible.
If you could attach an air blowing device of some sort that would certainly help. Oneway, I’m sure has don’t a fare bit of research into this cutting rig but things can always be better. In the video, I think the cutter is too high, I will lower it a bit next time I core. Jim.
Jim, very impressive!!! Out here on the farm I would be getting a tool and die maker to fabricate me several carriers, if I or a neighbor couldn't whip one up, and of course would be buying the cutters from Hunter ... that way I could put a ready carrier on each OneWay guide ... along with that, I might ask a metal fabricator to run a small calibre air tube on the underside of the OneWay guide, to deliver pressurized air continuously to the cutting region, with some sort of standard air hose fitting out at the riser post end ... if it worked, no continuous hand swiping at the shavings, and hopefully no jams by the cutter ... maybe adjust your compressor for continuous output at the appropriate velocity, perhaps even on the same switch as the lathe ... farm solutions to farm-type problems! What do I know? You're the head turner! Cheers, Farmer John, Ontario Canada
There are others that have attached an air supply to clear chips, there isn’t a ton of room on the bottom of support, can’t do it on the knife because it rides on the support. Sometimes farm solutions are the best solutions! Jim.
Question: is the cartridge made of plastic or metal? When you held it up to the camera at the beginning I would have said plastic; however, when you did the close up at the end the cartridge appeared to be metal. My thinking is that for $250CDN it better be metal! Could have just been a lighting thing...
Enjoyed the review. We've all been there I'm sure, the lower price thing that might be a false economy. Often we don't factor in our own time in keeping that "cheaper" thing working. Looking at what you report on here there's a big saving to be made in terms of your time. It's very much horses for courses, if you were turning a couple of items a week or month then the HSS cutter would be fine but for volume the carbide's the way to go, you make that clear in your video, thank you for that.
Thanks, Jim. Good review and a great demonstration. Coring is a quick and economic approach to bowl making. This replacement cutter makes that job even easier, as you demonstrated. I'm guessing you were coring wet blanks.
I’ve used it a number of times on dry maple burl and resin combos and it works the same. If you get one, don’t forget to use my code inlayjim for you’re discount. Thanks for watching
I’m curious how difficult it would be to modify an existing Oneway cutter to accept a square carbide. I core a lot of bowls with my Oneway. I’m like you, sharpening is difficult and even with the guide it’s easy to mess up. At $190US, this cutter costs more than the 16” knife set... 🤔🤔
The machining I can’t help you with but I will say that if you look at how many Oneway cutters you will buy, it won’t take long to pay for itself, also factor in the time away from the lathe sharpening, then for me it’s a no brainer. Jim.
Excellent video...thanks! Are these proprietary cutters or will other square cutters work? I have a pretty good collection of replacement square cutters and it would be nice to not have to buy different ones for different set-ups. Thanks.
Another Minnesotan that didn't even know about this--I saw Mike Hunter on Saturday! Thanks for sharing--I just got the OneWay coring system and this will be a great upgrade for an impatient turner!
I find it Ironic for me that last night I was on the Hunter Tools web site looking at some tools I'm looking to purchase and I saw the Korpro system which I never knew they had and I watch the video on it and now today you are posting a video on a Hunter cartridge that can be used on someone else's coring tool.
It depends on what I’m cutting and how much dirt is in the bark and so on. Can’t really answer that question other than to say, when ever it needs it 🤷♂️
Hi Jim , I just ordered the oneway system and your right that cutter sucks. What I've noticed is it's the outer wings. They are more of a scraper and not a cutter. The cutter it self works great. But those wings are like a break. And trying to apply pressure it gets stuck through the chuck off the tenon and some I've even broke. So Monday tomorrow I'm on the phone ordering two cartridges and these tips are going in the garbage. I've already wasted to cherry bowls trying to get it right.. And it's just not working. I turned one large bowl and a medium bowl and that was it. And from there it was down hill.. I had the same thing where people told me to pitch the cutter that comes with it and get these from Hunter tools. My mind made up..
Congratulations on finding a better tool! You mentioned some of your bowl blanks were hickory, how did they core compared to the butternut? Were all of your blanks still mostly green wood?
They were cut last year so not fresh off the stump but still green. Same as the logs in my roughing out marathon. The hickory cored better than the butternut, harder woods tend to core better than stringy woods like butternut. Thanks 🙏🏻
I noticed the carbide has the chip breaker on it. Those are used on metal lathes. I always wondered if those cutters would work on wood... I guess they do! My brother has a gunsmith lathe. When he's not lookin' I'll get me some. lol
Yep, looks like the same cutters that a metal lathe uses. The silver cutters are usually for aluminum and other soft metals. And you can by a ten pack on eBay for the price of one of these!
@@Jake-zc3fk I was thinking about mentioning that, but I didn't want to disrespect a sponsor. Granger has the Chinese cutters for 8 bucks each in a ten pack.
I can see this as being a big asset for you as a production turner. If you don’t have to change or sharpen cutters for 100 bowls or so that’s more time spent coring. That’s big.
Sometimes the initial cost of a tool is far outweighed by the time/money saved. Just using the purple resin/burl project as an example - how much time was saved by not having to sharpen several times (which in the long run also equates to money saved) and how much extra profit is there in being able to get the 4th core. I'm sure you already know, but I suspect this carbide cutter will be just like the coring setup - money spent initially will be made back many times.
Well, I am blessed or cursed with the engineer's syndrome, which is "if it ain't broke, take it apart and fix it anyway"...... I prefer the McNaughton system, but have the Oneway as well. Never liked their 'standard' cutter at all. Have to take it off the coring blade to sharpen it, which is a pain. So, in the course of learning to use it, I had Oneway send me one of their tips that was hardened, but they had not ground that spear tip on it. It came as a rectangle. I ground back the edges so it was a trapezoid, maybe 1/2 inch wide at the cutting end and just slightly wider than the blade at the far end. A huge improvement! All you had to do to sharpen it was use a coarse diamond hone on the bevel to bring up a fresh burr. I was chatting with the Oneway rep at the AAW Symposium in Kansas City about it and he said that the spear point broke the fibers, then the edges cut away the broken fibers, and that the spear point kept the cutter on track. Well, in my experiments with the McNaughton, I tried every shape I could think of to see if it would track better. Square, spear point, angled to the right or the left, it made no difference at all in tracking. The McNaughton, if you have tried it, ALWAYS drifts to the outside. You don't have to look at the blades very closely to see that the curve as it nears the tip, flattens out, going straight rather than following the arc. This is why it always drifts to the outside. The Woodcut system also shows no tendency to drift. I need to make my own McNaughton blades and see of I can get a perfect arc so it will cut straighter.... Other than that, all coring blades are scrapers. Scrapers cut better with a burr, though in very hard woods like locust, it may be better to have a very small burr, or hone it off. With the standard Oneway cutter or their carbide one, there is no burr. That is part of why this system does not cut as well as the McNaughton or the Woodcut. The carbide one they make does not have a burr... Yes, I know the rest of the world does not think the way I do......
This is the only thing I really dislike about the system, the cutters are expensive and difficult to sharpen correctly. Once you get over the sticker shock of the Korpro cutter, I’ve seen it’s a really money maker. Now I’m able to core resin pieces that I wasn’t able to do with the Oneway cutters and I also found the Oneway carbide cutters to be brittle and break during coring. Thanks for the info! Safe turning.
It’s really good to know that there is an alternative for the Oneway cutter, however I just find it overpriced especially when you have more than one knife set 😕
@Gilbert Besnard well I debated that as well. I’ve used three of the carbide cutters in the and two of them broke and the third need to be sharpened after about bowl five. Then, instead of trying to sharpen HSS, your tying to sharpen carbide. Jim.
Nice Jim but wow is that pricey! Email me the dimensions of those carbide inserts and I'll tell you what they are. Look up CCMT for example.. 29 bux for one is crazy! You can buy them by the 10 pack..I may even have some in my machine shop.👍🏻👍🏻
@@SpragueWoodturning look up ccmt for dimensions..to see if that's what you have..its an 80 degree rhombic insert..it has a 7 degree relief angle and a chip breaker.
@@SpragueWoodturning I have no problem with you spending as much as you want.😃 but when you can get 10 for the price of 1..🤔 just saying. When I get done with all the honeybee stuff I'm gonna make a holder for some inserts for my oneway coring rigs. I dont like those oneway cutters either but the rest of the setup is great! If I still have your email I'll send you pics of pages from my insert book...if you want it.
Wow...that is significantly better than their traditional cutters. Still...yes, Hunter should be congratulated for inventing a better mouse trap but the cost is exorbitant. So while I'll probably still end up buying one next month...it's frustrating that two dollars or less of metal costs $200. I don't begrudge the man his profit for inventing it...it just seems like we're being gouged (no pun intended) as it's the only alternative. That said...$25 for the cutter head itself seems perfectly reasonable.
Yup, that’s why I said sticker shock, lol. I still have a lot more coring to do and will keep people posted on how the cutter performs. I see it as a business expense and will save me money in the long run, Jim.

When you held it up to the camera at the beginning I would have said plastic; however, when you did the close up at the end the cartridge appeared to be metal. My thinking is that for $250CDN it better be metal! Could have just been a lighting thing...
It’s metal, plastic wouldn’t be able to take the abuse that this cutter is under when under load. Jim
If I was turning bowls like you do, I would seriously consider investing in some of those cutter cartridges. That was a very informative video, Jim.
Thanks Kelly!
i wonder if the woodcut has the same bit as the oneway ??
I can’t imagine, but I don’t know for sure, Jim
Thanks Buddy
My pleasure, Jim.
Enjoyed the review. We've all been there I'm sure, the lower price thing that might be a false economy. Often we don't factor in our own time in keeping that "cheaper" thing working. Looking at what you report on here there's a big saving to be made in terms of your time. It's very much horses for courses, if you were turning a couple of items a week or month then the HSS cutter would be fine but for volume the carbide's the way to go, you make that clear in your video, thank you for that.
Truer words have never been spoken! Thanks.
Thanks, Jim. Good review and a great demonstration. Coring is a quick and economic approach to bowl making. This replacement cutter makes that job even easier, as you demonstrated. I'm guessing you were coring wet blanks.
That's correct, I usually only do green blanks when coring. Jim
What amazing tools. Thank you for telling us about them.
It worked great! Thanks
Not that I know anything about the tools you use, but I know how important it is to have good scissors for fabric!! Nice sharp cuts
It’s the same principle, thanks.
Glad to hear it worked out well! I may have to try it out if I get more serious about coring.
Ya man, it’s awesome!
I love how sharp that cutter is even though it is so expensive.
It works great! Thanks
What is the cutter like on dry maple?
I’ve used it a number of times on dry maple burl and resin combos and it works the same. If you get one, don’t forget to use my code inlayjim for you’re discount. Thanks for watching
BTW...what HP lathe are you coring on? thanks...
Two horse, Jim.
Thanks for the review. That helps me as I plan on getting set up with a coring system.
It’s a great cutter, Jim.
Does the wood need to be green or seasoned……??
Most woodturners process green wood but you can do seasoned wood as well but it will be more difficult to process, Jim.
I’m curious how difficult it would be to modify an existing Oneway cutter to accept a square carbide. I core a lot of bowls with my Oneway. I’m like you, sharpening is difficult and even with the guide it’s easy to mess up. At $190US, this cutter costs more than the 16” knife set... 🤔🤔
The machining I can’t help you with but I will say that if you look at how many Oneway cutters you will buy, it won’t take long to pay for itself, also factor in the time away from the lathe sharpening, then for me it’s a no brainer. Jim.
Excellent video...thanks! Are these proprietary cutters or will other square cutters work? I have a pretty good collection of replacement square cutters and it would be nice to not have to buy different ones for different set-ups. Thanks.
I'm sure these are normal carbide cutters. Thanks
Another Minnesotan that didn't even know about this--I saw Mike Hunter on Saturday! Thanks for sharing--I just got the OneWay coring system and this will be a great upgrade for an impatient turner!
They work great! You won’t be disappointed!
I find it Ironic for me that last night I was on the Hunter Tools web site looking at some tools I'm looking to purchase and I saw the Korpro system which I never knew they had and I watch the video on it and now today you are posting a video on a Hunter cartridge that can be used on someone else's coring tool.
The Hunter cartridge is specific for the Oneway coring rig, Jim.
@Sprague Woodturning how do you sharpen your chainsaw blades
It depends on what I’m cutting and how much dirt is in the bark and so on. Can’t really answer that question other than to say, when ever it needs it 🤷♂️
Hi Jim , I just ordered the oneway system and your right that cutter sucks. What I've noticed is it's the outer wings. They are more of a scraper and not a cutter. The cutter it self works great. But those wings are like a break. And trying to apply pressure it gets stuck through the chuck off the tenon and some I've even broke. So Monday tomorrow I'm on the phone ordering two cartridges and these tips are going in the garbage. I've already wasted to cherry bowls trying to get it right.. And it's just not working. I turned one large bowl and a medium bowl and that was it. And from there it was down hill.. I had the same thing where people told me to pitch the cutter that comes with it and get these from Hunter tools. My mind made up..
It’s a great product and I think they’ve redesigned it to make it even better. Thanks for watching!
@@SpragueWoodturning ❤
Wow it cuts very nice .look like a great idea for wood turners that are doing a lot bowls .Time =money .
I agree! Thanks!
Congratulations on finding a better tool! You mentioned some of your bowl blanks were hickory, how did they core compared to the butternut? Were all of your blanks still mostly green wood?
They were cut last year so not fresh off the stump but still green. Same as the logs in my roughing out marathon. The hickory cored better than the butternut, harder woods tend to core better than stringy woods like butternut. Thanks 🙏🏻
Sounds like you need to come to the US to buy a few of these! Awesome!
Thanks 😊
Already ordered mine Jim, thanks!
Awesome! Thanks
Excellent video! Just found your channel and am impressed. One question: how does it work on dry wood?
Great! It doesn’t get much harder than this video, I give it a true test ua-cam.com/video/sQilVX_3HoQ/v-deo.html thanks for watching!
The cutting insert may be a standard milling cutter in which case you could buy it in diamond PCD and use it forever or until you hit a nail. Ouch.
Interesting, thanks for the info!
I noticed the carbide has the chip breaker on it. Those are used on metal lathes. I always wondered if those cutters would work on wood... I guess they do! My brother has a gunsmith lathe. When he's not lookin' I'll get me some. lol
I noticed that as well and wasn’t sure what it was there for, now I know! Thanks I’m sure he won’t miss a couple, lol.
Yep, looks like the same cutters that a metal lathe uses. The silver cutters are usually for aluminum and other soft metals. And you can by a ten pack on eBay for the price of one of these!
@@Jake-zc3fk I was thinking about mentioning that, but I didn't want to disrespect a sponsor. Granger has the Chinese cutters for 8 bucks each in a ten pack.
I can see this as being a big asset for you as a production turner. If you don’t have to change or sharpen cutters for 100 bowls or so that’s more time spent coring. That’s big.
Totally! Thanks
Great information Jim! I learned something 😃
Thanks! That’s my goal, 😜😜
Sometimes the initial cost of a tool is far outweighed by the time/money saved. Just using the purple resin/burl project as an example - how much time was saved by not having to sharpen several times (which in the long run also equates to money saved) and how much extra profit is there in being able to get the 4th core. I'm sure you already know, but I suspect this carbide cutter will be just like the coring setup - money spent initially will be made back many times.
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks 🙏
That is amazing, great find.
Thanks 🙏
Awesome, thanks for sharing this Jim!
Thanks Tim!
Thanks Jim I had never heard of this.
It’s my go to now, thanks
Great video thanks Jim.
Thanks Martin!
Thanks for sharing your finds on tools ✌
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks Jim, another great video
Thanks Kevin!
That cutter is a beast!
It sure it! Thanks
Great tool review, thanks for the information.
Great, thanks 🙏
Well, I am blessed or cursed with the engineer's syndrome, which is "if it ain't broke, take it apart and fix it anyway"...... I prefer the McNaughton system, but have the Oneway as well. Never liked their 'standard' cutter at all. Have to take it off the coring blade to sharpen it, which is a pain. So, in the course of learning to use it, I had Oneway send me one of their tips that was hardened, but they had not ground that spear tip on it. It came as a rectangle. I ground back the edges so it was a trapezoid, maybe 1/2 inch wide at the cutting end and just slightly wider than the blade at the far end. A huge improvement! All you had to do to sharpen it was use a coarse diamond hone on the bevel to bring up a fresh burr. I was chatting with the Oneway rep at the AAW Symposium in Kansas City about it and he said that the spear point broke the fibers, then the edges cut away the broken fibers, and that the spear point kept the cutter on track. Well, in my experiments with the McNaughton, I tried every shape I could think of to see if it would track better. Square, spear point, angled to the right or the left, it made no difference at all in tracking. The McNaughton, if you have tried it, ALWAYS drifts to the outside. You don't have to look at the blades very closely to see that the curve as it nears the tip, flattens out, going straight rather than following the arc. This is why it always drifts to the outside. The Woodcut system also shows no tendency to drift. I need to make my own McNaughton blades and see of I can get a perfect arc so it will cut straighter....
Other than that, all coring blades are scrapers. Scrapers cut better with a burr, though in very hard woods like locust, it may be better to have a very small burr, or hone it off. With the standard Oneway cutter or their carbide one, there is no burr. That is part of why this system does not cut as well as the McNaughton or the Woodcut. The carbide one they make does not have a burr...
Yes, I know the rest of the world does not think the way I do......
This is the only thing I really dislike about the system, the cutters are expensive and difficult to sharpen correctly. Once you get over the sticker shock of the Korpro cutter, I’ve seen it’s a really money maker. Now I’m able to core resin pieces that I wasn’t able to do with the Oneway cutters and I also found the Oneway carbide cutters to be brittle and break during coring. Thanks for the info! Safe turning.
nice review of that cutter.
Thanks, it performed great!
Great information. Keep up the good stuff
Thanks Dave, I also plan on coring resin too, Jim.
Darn, I have the McNaughton system! Still, good to know.
Sorry, lol.
Interesting little gadget! 💜
Thanks Tracey!
It’s really good to know that there is an alternative for the Oneway cutter, however I just find it overpriced especially when you have more than one knife set 😕
I hear you, but when you factor in the amount of cutters you will buy from Oneway to make the same cuts, this cutter makes sense. Jim
To be fair it would be better to compare the Hunter cutter with the carbide version of the Oneway cutter, don’t you think 🤔
@Gilbert Besnard well I debated that as well. I’ve used three of the carbide cutters in the and two of them broke and the third need to be sharpened after about bowl five. Then, instead of trying to sharpen HSS, your tying to sharpen carbide. Jim.
That cutter will pay for itself in no time Jim👍
It sure will! Thanks
Sharpening tools is always a pain. I do hand carving and it’s such a waste of time... dull tools are the worst to work with! Stay safe!
True, and your more likely to get injured with dull tools too, thanks
I hope this cutter keeps working for you.
Me too! Thanks 🙏
great review
Thanks 🙏
Great review. Thanks.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Sounds like that cutter is well worth the investment!
It sure is, thanks
Amazing
Thanks 🙏
Jim: you will have to be careful that you do not drop the cutter in the shavings. It is so small. Keep bringing the videos. Take care.
I have a spare one and when I was looking at it, I dropped it and totally panicked, lol. Magnets don’t work well on carbide either. Lol.
This is a very good video.thanks
Great! Thanks!
Takes money to make money. Good call !
It sure does! Thanks 🙏
You can sharpen carbide with a dime wheel
11:08 I'm sorry I ment dimemen wheel
Yes, but it will never be the same sharpness at when you originally got the carbide cutter. I just treat it like business expense. Thanks
Boy they sure Bragg up one way cutters.i hate when they do that.thanx for the good info jim.
I’ve never liked them, great coring rig but hate the cutters!
Nice Jim but wow is that pricey! Email me the dimensions of those carbide inserts and I'll tell you what they are. Look up CCMT for example.. 29 bux for one is crazy! You can buy them by the 10 pack..I may even have some in my machine shop.👍🏻👍🏻
They are .37 x .31 x .09 thick. It does have that special chip edge? Jim.
I still don’t have a problem paying for something that works good and I only need to buy every two year, just saying.
@@SpragueWoodturning look up ccmt for dimensions..to see if that's what you have..its an 80 degree rhombic insert..it has a 7 degree relief angle and a chip breaker.
@@SpragueWoodturning I have no problem with you spending as much as you want.😃 but when you can get 10 for the price of 1..🤔 just saying. When I get done with all the honeybee stuff I'm gonna make a holder for some inserts for my oneway coring rigs. I dont like those oneway cutters either but the rest of the setup is great! If I still have your email I'll send you pics of pages from my insert book...if you want it.
Great, please do. There is a 7 or a 1 stamped on the top. I pretty much think it’s a seven tho.
Wow...that is significantly better than their traditional cutters. Still...yes, Hunter should be congratulated for inventing a better mouse trap but the cost is exorbitant. So while I'll probably still end up buying one next month...it's frustrating that two dollars or less of metal costs $200. I don't begrudge the man his profit for inventing it...it just seems like we're being gouged (no pun intended) as it's the only alternative. That said...$25 for the cutter head itself seems perfectly reasonable.
Yup, that’s why I said sticker shock, lol. I still have a lot more coring to do and will keep people posted on how the cutter performs. I see it as a business expense and will save me money in the long run, Jim.
That insert should save alot of time
It sure will, thanks
Expensive but worth it, great work
Yup, thanks!
I looked to conversion rate $26 and $40 USD, too steep for my blood.
I did that type of work
I get it, I just treat it like a business expense, thanks.
