    John Jordan makes a nice little jig to help sharpen hollowing bits. For a little lower tech, try a pair of vise grips.

    Jim,

    Not sure its safe to use a SRG on the outside of a bowl (or any face-grained application) either. It simply isn't made for the stresses this places on the tool. a bowl gouge is a much safer...

    I can attest that the 6" blast gates from Lee Valley fit perfectly inside 6" S/D PVC pipe. I did have to caulk to get a better seal.

    Also, my blast gates are on the downhill of a Wye fitting so I...
