    I just love the size of the CS!

    Reminds me of a mate who reaches for is a 1 1/2" roughing gouge first, no matter what size blank he has mounted...

    My partner has been resisting me getting lathe because she is afraid I'm going to kill myself.

    After seeing this I now have permission to buy a lathe

    Thank you!
