We are building the web page now. It will be up shortly. Please remember this is a brand new item. Shipping will take a bit longer as I figure out the first batch and organize the necessary material. I am delighted at just how well it performs on crappy southern yellow pine 2x4 material.
Interesting design, it looks very solid but a bit clutsy in my opinion. Perhaps you have a few more refinements before finalizing the production model. I hope you cut down the front of the extrusion holding the cutter bar. At the moment the square front clearly obstructs the movement as the jig swings close to the headstock end. Maybe cut 45 degrees off each side. Looking forward to the final version. P.S. I have the British jig that I assisted in the design many years ago.
Thanks for the input. Everything is a compromise. The bulk adds so much rigidity that it is worth the width. Although it looks cumbersome, it works beautifully. The offset cutter (included at no extra charge) reaches deeply into the headstock area and you could actually part the sphere off if you wanted to. I found that when I moved the tailstock out of the way, it was very fast to clean the tailstock end using the round cutter.
@@Ronbrownsbest I hear what you said and you designed the tool, but I still would say a 6mm negative rake would surprise even you it would be a smaller cut but a better finish. I would like for you to try, but you would have to work with the negative rake for the correct angle to present it. I would like to hear a follow up on this question!!
@@ronnie100393 Friend: the smaller the cutter the greater chance for ripples. The reason you use a huge sweeping scraper on bowls is to smooth out the surface. The large cutter presents a larger radius and will always give a smoother finish. As far as negative rake goes, the only reason for a negative rake is to reduce the aggressiveness of the cut. We don't need that. In the interest of time, this will be my last response. Thanks for your suggestions.
Great demo of your new tool, really nice

@@Ronbrownsbest right on! I’ll be on the look out for when it’s all ready and you got your things tightened up!
Thank you

Question: that looks like a 12mm cutter wouldn’t a 8 or 6 mm negative rake cutter be better?
A negative rake would be a huge mistake for heavy stock removal. The steel bar is 1/2" square so 12 mm is the logical choice.
