A friend lent me a Sorby tool with the ring in it. I found it very hard to use. Either too aggressive, like hollowing with a chainsaw or to small a cut and it blocked constantly
I agree the paper dust masks are no good. They give a false sense of security. Blow your nose after using them and you will see!
Get a tight fitting rubber sealed one, they are about £20 from screwfix
Amegr of the reply above, they de piece ont very securely usbute he tail stock to keep them bown in place while finishing off the bottom... just in case!
Also you have to think about the shape of the top you are cutting as the buttons are only designed to hold a slight taper when you tighten up...
Hi All,
Just been thinking, seeing as I dont know what these are anyway, if anyone wants them Im happy to give them away free of charge.
Easiest for anyone local to Wilmslow ( sk9 area) first. Let me know

Hi All,
have been a long term lurker on this form and earned a lot from the excellent advice. However I thought Id post a question now.

Most of them I use but some left over...
