Hei Guys,
Before anyone jumps on me for an OT post I am putting this here because I want to hear from woodturners about this.
Got a big lump of jarrah that is massively out of balance, it even made a Vicmarc 3000 walk.
Someone at my club suggested a power carver as a means of balancing the wood - mount the wood on the lathe and turn it by hand using a power carver to trim it down to a point where it's balanced enough to turn.
Anyone ever done this, could I get by with a carving disk or do I need a proper carver.
Cheers
Paul
PS Carbatec, you should take a look at Timebcons website - you guys are better than them on product and service but you're losing business to them because their website is so much better.
