+Larry Arnold Hi, Larry: I have never seen a Woodcut Bowlsaver in person nor used one, so I don't know how it compares to these two systems. Coring requires a considerable amount of torque from the lathe so I would recommend at least 1 1/2 hp. and preferably 2+ hp. I don't know of any midi lathes that have that much power available. I never tried coring anything on my 3/4 hp. GI Maxi lathe so I can't say whether it would have been possible or not. I simply assumed it would not have enough power and did my coring on my larger lathe. Take care Bob

Pro trick : watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Jax Shane Definitely, been using flixzone} for months myself =)

@Jax Shane definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D

@Jax Shane Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D

@Jax Shane definitely, been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :)

Sorry but my dad passed away a little over 5 years ago. He taught me a bit about turning but I never made it that far. Hopefully someone else can help you

Hi, Lui: I can usually get several touch ups with a diamond hone before I need to go back to the grinder with the knives. Take care Bob

+Bob Hamilton Great, thank you.

+Larry Arnold Hi, Larry: The Oneway Easy Core system is likely available through larger woodturning retailers, although I bought mine directly from Oneway: oneway.ca/products-category/coring-hollowing/Easy-Core%20Coring%20System The McNaughton Center Saver system is available from woodturning retailers as well. I bought mine at Lee Valley Tools, www.leevalley.com/en/Wood/page.aspx?p=49128&cat=1,330,49233,49232&ap=1 Take care Bob

Billy Bouldin Hi, Billy:I don't know how much advice I can give you since I only have direct experience with the four lathes I have owned: the Delta 46-700 I started out on, the Nova DVR, the General 25-114 midi lathe I use out in the backyard during nice weather, and the Oneway 2436 I use now. The Delta is no longer available and would not be too highly recommended even if it was. The Nova DVR is an excellent lathe but would fall in the class of "medium duty" lathe rather than "heavy duty" like the Oneway. One thing in particular that always kind of bothered me about the Nova is the bed is very narrow from front to back, with only ~1" of machined bed way surface on each side of the central gap. That is not a lot of contact surface for the banjo and tailstock to clamp on to and the banjo would occasionally vibrate loose, especially when I was coring.In general the heavier the lathe the better for absorbing vibration. The Nova only weighed ~200 lbs., even with the bed extension I had mounted. I did have ballast added to the stand it was mounted on and it worked well for me, but I felt I had outgrown its capabilities and wanted to make a significant upgrade to what would be the last lathe I would ever buy. That is why I chose the Oneway, which is built like a tank and performs extremely well. It also cost at least three times as much as the Nova.In the forums I participate in the Powermatic 3520b is generally considered to be very good value for money and probably the lowest priced of what could seriously be considered a "heavy duty" lathe. The Robust lathes are also building a reputation as being on a par with Oneway lathes and their cost is comparable with Oneway's.I hope this helps a littleTake careBob

I really appreciate you answering my questions. I have 1624 Nova and feel like I have out grown it. I am thinking about going to the 2436 Oneway .I don't like changing the belts . On mine I get at a certain spot and have to change. When I buy again I like to have the 3 hp Oneway . I have been turning for 2 years and I watched your videos among others and taught myself . I have learned a lot from watching you.I have turned some stuff and sold them and that is how I bought my lathe I have now. Next time I buy I want to get one and be it . Thank you so much Billy.
