I've got a pro edge and it's awesome, I'm on a tight budget and research the best fir the job and the pro edge wins hands down... Also with a little thought all the tormek/jet jigs can be used with the sorby, with a little more thought it could be made variable speed too. It has a grind stone...

Yewll get maybe an inch of waste using a chain mill, you don't have access to a mill with a bandsaw, seems such a waste of such a precious timber

Also one thing.... It's a lot less effort and much easier to get to a good standard turning dry timber on a power lathe than a pole lathe!

Robert sorby pro edge

£13.44 for the bar .. Bargain ! Cheers for the idea mate

No I didn't think of that.... Good plan, that means all the jet jugs will fit too and they'll be a bit cheaper I guess !

Hey guys, I'm after the exact bar diameter on a tormek as I'm going to fabricate a bar system so I can use all the tormek tool jigs in a sorby pro edge. Cheers !

I turn greenwood bowls on a pole lathe and as they dry they they warp and change shape, ive got some awesome strange shapes! make sure you don`t use the heart wood and pith also make the sides thin with a slightly thicker base so there is less chance of splitting on drying

The AI mk2`s have very fine bevels, I find them fine for dovetails.
