First things first the ones that were at the Gold Coast woodturners this weekend plz don't give it away:no:

There is a new toy about to hit the market it's going to be hitting the shops soon!!
its a tool no woodturner can be with out trust me it's a game changer!!

its made here in Australia !!
Australia I think will be first to get there dust coved hands on it before the rest of the world
I think some of our own forum members had input into the design of it :2tsup:
It was made with the help of woodturners for woodturners

It will sell at a grate price

I had a play with it today and it's the ducks nuts!

NOW WHAT IS IT????

Sounds much like a Lapidary grinder which has been round for many years and used by a couple of blokes I know who were into Lapidary and have been woodturners for some time.

"The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."

Or at least waited until all details are to hand for most of don't appreciate this kind of artificial hype in an unknown and untried toy. It usually works on preteens and teens but not on adults.


It better be damn good because I've lost interest and doubt if I would buy it. It's known as advertising buyers resistance.
