I was turning a cherry bowl last night on the Rikon. Everything was going great.
Then, The VORTEX caused a "SUBSPACE TRANSMUTATION EVENT".
My bowl disappeared, and reappeared on the other side of the Magic garage. Luckly no damage. The vortex seams to be good at this teleporting thing.
Like I said before, I had purchased a "3/8" Bedan parting tool on closeout from Woodcraft. I was going to make a square scraper out of it. But To Conquer the dreaded "Subspace transmutation", I thought it might be better to create a "dovetail cutter" to hold tighter in the chuck. So I ground about a 15 degree angle, and made the edge blunter. I now have a dovetail tool. I cut a dovetail, remounted on the chuck, gouged out, and sanded the inside of the bowl. Managed to to keep the "Transmutation events" at bay this time.
The Sorby sanding pads worked great on my little Hf Angle grinder. I ran it at about 45 PSI. It's a great tool, and a real labor saver. This Afternoon I'm goung to mount the "Jumbo Jaws, and do the bottom.
Of course here's pic's for the Imperial picture police
I update if I'm successful with the bowl.
