    Thanks Hughie.

    For the benefit of newbies, there's also a review of these two and others at

    http://www.fholder.com/Woodturning/lyn.html

    FWIW while the Proforme does tend to accumulate shavings at the top of the J you can go on turning for a while still and then fairly easily remove them with a stiff brush.

    The J shape also gives you varying cuts acc to what's in touch with the wood: something of a planing effect on the long edge and more agressive cutting at the turn.
    Cheers, Ern
