I have started the love of turning bowls! I am looking for a curved "bowl" tool rest.
1. Where do I find these? I have a 5/8 post hole and a 25mm post hole. (jet 1014 and HF clone of Jet 1236 VS)
I am currently in discussion with rherrell for some of his strait interchangeable rests.
2. How does the classic curved bowl rest compare to rherrell's flat top "bowl" rests?
I am using the square bars that come with captain eddies carbide cutters. When going more than 3 inches into the bowl with such short handle / leverage, i can't control the cutter consistently or accurately.
3. Would the flat top or classic curved bowl rests help me out?
4. Should I just figure out how to make a longer handle for my square bars?
Any other tips or comments or words of advice would be appreciated for one who wants to make more bowls!
