There is no Vibration with Speed & a good P&N 25mm. Roughing Gouge.
Do you think I wood be silly enough, if it was going to come out, & to Print it so others could read it.
I really don't like putting my life on the line by using a set of 50mm. jaws doing that kind of work.
I Print, with 33yrs of Turning behind me, & Demoing in front of Turners better than me.

"Wow I didn't see that one coming"

Issa mate I seem to have upset you. If I have I'm sorry. It was not my intention to upset anyone.

However I do think your post is somewhat of an over reaction.

Without trying to upset you further I will make a couple of comments .

I wonder how everyone did this sort of work before spigot jaws were available?

I did then, what I do now, I used dovetail jaws.

Finally, when I made my post I didn't expect everyone to agree with me.

Cheers

Tim
