I wish more people would appreciate the amount of labor and time and trial and error that goes into this. It is truly awesome!! Great video!!
It's definitely an involved process. Glad you enjoyed ❤️
You & your safety flip flops just kill me Scott! 😂😅
I've got steel toe-nails 😂
@@alexanderdesigns814 Yes. I'm aware! lolol
Love your channel!
I'm happy you are enjoying it. I'm going to keep improving my content ❤️
Another great vid!! Thanks for a comprehensive insight into coring!! Need to send you a recycled skateboard blank to try and core 😄👍
Thank you 🙏🏻. I'd imagine it would be slightly difficult to core out a skateboard blank 😅😂
Great video Scott!
Thank you 🙏🏻
A very nice tutorial for the Oneway Coring System. Scott appears to be coring from the center (in line with the spindle). This gives the most spherically shaped bowls. Moving the cutter toward the back of the lathe gives a more cone shaped bowl and moving the cutter toward the front give a flatter shaped bowl. This gives you some added control to get the bowl shape and size that you want.
I'm looking forward to more videos like this.
Thanks,
David Gilbert
The knives are all the same curve. But kind of yes.... you control the depth by going closer or further way. Left or right to hit your mark. Glad you enjoyed
Fantastic video....I'm forwarding this to a buddy. I purchased my Oneway set last fall and have a few half logs ready to "process".... Sassafras!! I will be sure to clear those chips... Thanks for the advice. One question.... How do you store your Oneway pieces to keep them organized and handy? I just finished a wall rack for mine, but really pulled the design out of thin air... I am looking for other ideas. Thanks again.
Sassafras is so fun to turn. And it smells amazing. My shop is extremely small and I have almost no wall space. My pieces are all in a big steel cabinet out of the way for now. At least until I build my forever shop hopefully this summer. Holler if you run into any coring issues. Happy to help
The only downfall of the Oneway coring system is the need to sharpen the cutter bit so often that slows the coring process. The good news is that Hunter Tools now sells a custom cartridge and carbide cutter that fits the Oneway Coring System. Although I thought it was somewhat expensive up front (about $200) I found that it was one of the best investments I've made in bowl turning. I've cored 175-200 bowls with one carbide cutter and NEVER NEEDED TO SHARPEN the cutter. When the cutter does eventually dull, replacement carbide cutters are around 50.00
If you do any amount of coring this is a must-have accessory.
The carbide replacements shaped like the factory ones are much better when it comes to staying sharp. I've tried the hunter cartridge but found it to be way overpriced for what it is. And I core thousands of bowls a year.
Great video. Thanks for the instructions on the coring system. I’ve been considering one. And I didn’t understand what all the knives were needed. I have a max diameter of 20. 18” is usually my starting point. And too don’t do small bowls. Can I get by with just a couple corn my knives? Roughly the 2 you just used?
I'd suggest starting with knive 1 and 3. You can always add knive 2 if you find you need it.
I'd be lost without knives 1-3. I rarely use 4 at this point. Not a huge need for bowls over that scale ... at least for me currently
Thank you. That was what I needed to know
Great video! Where exactly are you measuring from on the base of the cutting arm to determine the position?
I measure from the leading edge of the post (white part holding the knife). If it's smashed against the bowl you get the full depth of the knife. Back it off if you need less. I hope that makes sense
