if you are looking for info ( assuming you don't find any here) I think you will find plenty of suggestions etc on the AAW forum site ( american wood turner), you may have to do a search.
I have seen plenty of info , over the years.

You are wise to ask for help, as the McN. is known to have a bit of a learning curve. There may be a DVD available, which you can probably find on the AAW forum. Some folks are skilled in its use and believe it is an excellent product. Others disagree. Good luck.

Mike Mahoney has a DVD on use of McNaughton Centre Saver. www.bowlmaker.com (http://www.bowlmaker.com) Iv'e had mine for a couple of years and am still cautious. I think it would be better for you to watch someone who is proficient at using one. Saw Mike two years ago when he was demonstrating it at the Turn Fest at Kooralbyn Qld.
