Shopsmith Forums

Good day! I've FINALLY gotten my Universal Lathe Tool Rest (backordered last MARCH - so keep hope alive!!). WOW!! What an accessory! It lives up to the SS hype, too!
Here's the REAL question, however...Has anyone out there in SS land bought and used the Kel McNaughton Bowl Coring System for the ShopSmith?
I've researched the various systems out there, and the KMcN seems to be the one I can afford (the OneWay WOULD be my 1st choice, but too much dinero for me.) I'm getting ready to call the KMc folks re: this Q, but I'd like to hear from 'The Faithful' before I do...

I've never heard of this company. Do they have a website?

JD,
The Kel Mcnaughton system is well known in bowl turning made by Kelton Industries Ltd. out of New Zealand...

I'd love to get a confirmation of a coring system that someone has successfully used with their Shipsmith.

Because I enjoy practicing my necromantic arts, I thought I'd resurrect this thread, as it's the only result in a search for coring systems. In the last seven years, has anyone had a chance to try any of these out? Is there anything that's particularly good for the SS? It would be pretty nice to not have to waste a ton of wood when following out bowls!
