OK, Gang. Nearly lost some nice walnut on my first Panache to warped mandrel. I like warped because "bent" makes it sound obviously my fault.
So, saved and completed Panache TBC and have turned TBC with stock bushings a few times. Normally no issues but did lose "flow" on the design of one 2 piece that ended up looking like that substitute teacher in the 7th grade, narrow on top with a wide bottom and curves that seemed abnormal.
As such, at times I prefer turned on a mandrel over TBC. Recommendations: get a mandrel saver with new mandrel, invest in the holdfast dual live center system, just focus on TBC or something else? Interested in your wisdom and experience.
