Dale Bonertz gives a detailed demonstration of the use of the McNaughton Center Saver for coring bowl sets. Presented to the Rocky Mountain Woodturners on January 5, 2012
Thanks Dale , Surprising how rude the audience was through some of this. I just bought the small and standard set to use in 2023 so this has been very helpful. Again thanks
Dale, this presentation has been the very best of all I’ve seen for that tool that I’ve put aside for at least a year. I found it so complicated, frustrating and scared of it because I had so many back kicks and the wood flying off nearly hitting me and had my left fingers strapped for weeks. I hated the set and petrified of the knives. So having seen your course, I will bring my IPad and give it a play by play a go. Wish me luck! Thank you for your wonderful presentation again. It was very informative and interesting. It gave me hope.
Excellent video. You took it slowly, spoke in plain language and were easy to understand. So often these tutorials are explained quickly and I need to constantly go back and watch parts over. I recently bought the standard set and the instructions are quite basic. I am definately going to give your method a go and I believe that it will be the way I use the tool in the future, although of course I will develope short cuts as you mentioned. Thanks very much for posting this Dale.
Vielen Dank für dieses ausgezeichnete Video Dale. Ein Muss für jeden , der keine Erfahrungen mit dem Center-Saver hat. Mit Abstand das Beste, was ich im Net zu diesem Werkzeug gefunden habe.
Thanks for the video!!!!! I have learned so much form watch it. The first time I cored out some bowls was such a great experience. Cored out some bowls yesterday and it was a enjoyable this time around thanks to this video.
Great video, I learn something new each time I watch it. I will core a couple of sets then come back and compare notes with the video. The sections about aiming and about blade location and feeding are great.
Excellent- this certainly fills in the gaps left by McNaughton's own instructions and the other videos. I much prefer to get better at something by following a set of easy to understand directions than to just get lucky. Thanks for this.
amazing information! I've been worried about how to use the set for a while, so I never bought one. Now, thanks to you, I think I get it. Maybe an after-xmas present to myself... Thanks!!!
At 36:20 you said "your going to stop short". How short are you talking about? I believe my problem is I'm not stopping short enough. But not sure. Thanks

Thanks Dale, I've been looking at coring tools; this helps alot!
Awesome demo, Dale!
Best video ever on this system. Maybe I should fly out and learn one on one. Also, do you lock the turret?
the best i have seen .....
Dale can you explain how you make your own handles for the McNaughton please?
