Quote from: The Bowler Hatted Turner on November 24, 2021, 09:40:52 PMIt never ceases to amaze me how clever some of our members are. I don't have the brain power to workout the whys and wherefores that has happened in this thread. I have always said that I don't do anything clever and it is true. If I find one of my tools is not cutting right I assume it needs sharpening, if it still doen't cut I assume that my technique needs to sharpen up or the tool is ground wrongly in which case example no 2 still applies. It is all about sharpening correctly.So now you know, if the tool is sharp and the cut still isn't flowing.. you need a box and high heals

Worls for some though.PeteThis may sound daft... but I think they work better for taller people, or very short people, it is all about angle and vision lines, having watched a bunch of people using them and puzzling over the mixed results I have concluded average height on average lathe height often do at least as well if not better on a standard scraper design. I am 6'4" (shrunk a bit with age LOL) and afraid that my height doesn't seem to help, maybe I am the odd one one out. I am 6'3" and it does not work for me, We may be the two oddmen out!Pete

A persons height shouldn’t make any difference provided the lathe is at the correct height? Obviously most products are made for people of average height. If you’re particularly tall the onus is on you to make things fit. Having said that I think OneWay lathes have height adjustment?
