Nice, but there is heavy paint along the top edge that makes it impossible turn accurately. No problem though, just turn it upside down on a stationary belt sander and sand the top surface flat. If anyone knows where to get a longer toolrest, like maybe 12" long, with a 5/8" downshaft for the Turncrafter lathe let me know. I need it for getting down to the bottom of deep bowls. Thanks.
The tool is very good for turning bowls inside and out. The size of the tool would limit the diameter of a bowl being turned. The adjustment height is great for using various lathe tools. I would recommend this tool to anyone that turns bowls or other objects where the distance from the tool rest to the work item requires closer adjustments to the work surface.
