Question:	What is the diameter of the steel bar in this product
Answer:	3/8 INCH

Question:	Is the tool profile a U, V, or Elliptical
Answer:	Honestly looked like a U, but very shallow, nearly a spindle gouge. I returned this one becu I didn't feel safe turning face grain with it.

Product description

Woodcut Tools is a small family owned business with over 30 years experience. Designed by turners, for turners. Made in New Zealand.

When purchasing a Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver everything is included to start coring ​bowls from 3" to 12", safely and easily for all skill levels. Other bowl coring systems seem cheaper but after buying all the required blades & parts they are much more costly. A comprehensive user guide is included as well as a template pattern to determine bowl depth. Demo videos available on You Tube.

The Bowlsaver couples to the lathe via the tool post and is the only coring system which is also supported by a Morse taper that fits into the tailstock of the lathe. (#2 Morse taper provided, however a #1 Morse taper can be supplied FOC separately). The design gives a solid support and reduces vibration. 

The Bowlsaver will fit almost all lathes large and small, from 12" to 16" swing with 1HP and up.

1" TOOL POST INCLUDED which is the most common size - If it does not fit with your lathe simply order a tool post separately, ensure it has a 1/2" UNF thread.  Woodcut Tools have suitable tool posts available on Amazon. Please contact us should you require assistance with this. (Please note the tool post was not previously supplied, hence comments below)

The Bowlsaver has two blades, which are used one at a time.  The blades give a combination of cuts that will remove blanks from 3” up to 12” from the inside of the mother bowl. The replaceable Stelite cutters come sharp and ready to start coring. To re sharpen simply lightly sharpen with a Credit Card Hone also sold on Amazon, or similar. 

 The Bowlsaver comes with a handle which can also easily be used for any 1/2" dia. tools.

• SAFE AND EASY FOR ALL LEVELS - The only coring device which is integrated with both the tool rest tail stock, making it the safest coring device on the market. Easy to operate meaning turners of all levels can use it.
• SAVE MONEY AND TIME - Create multiple bowl blanks , no additional blade purchases required. The Bowlsaver includes two high strength blades (used one at a time) with Stellite Cutters giving a combination of cuts that will remove bowls from 3" to 12" up to 5" deep from the inside of the mother bowl.
• LATHES 1HP AND UP - Can be used on almost all Woodturning Lathes, from 12" to 16" swing with 1HP and up. 1" tool post included however, each lathe has a different diameter tool post so you may need to order a tool post to suit the lathe you are using if not 1". Set it up and start saving wood.
• PREDICTABLE RESULTS EVERY TIME - The Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver has long lasting Stellite cutters which can cut green or seasoned wood, accurately remove a perfect bowl every time. A template pattern to determine bowl depth is included, or purchase a Light Guide to make this even easier.
• USER GUIDES, TEMPLATE & VIDEOS SUPPLIED - An extensive user guide booklet is included in the box with your Bowlsaver. User guide, set up and demonstration videos are available on our You Tube channel.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the numbers and holes on the back of the chuck for
Answer:	The individual jaws are mounted in specific places on the chuck, The jaws and locations are numbered 1 through 4 to identify where each is to be mounted. Jaw #4 is also keyed.
Question:	Will this work with my jet lathe jml
Answer:	Yes it will
Question:	Is this chuck reversible
Answer:	I’m not sure what you mean by reversible . The Chuck works well on a spigot, or recess very well. The jaws are beveled on the outside, which grab and lock on to the piece tightly. Jaws don’t have threads, thus leaving no marks in the recess.
Question:	I want to use these to turn aluminium roundstock, would need to be able to hold solid metal roughly 3.5" in diameter, would these jaws do the job
Answer:	The jaws open 3” to grab project. They push out 3 1/4” for spigot attachment. Anything over that won’t work, unless you ordered larger jaws. I would email the company, and explain what you want to do. I use this chuck for turning wood.

Question:	What grit sanding pads come with this bowl sander? Thanks
Answer:	I don't remember. I bought extra pads to be safe,
Question:	How does the mandrel stay in the handle
Answer:	There's what I would describe as a C-ring washer on the back side that secures the mandrel and lets it turn.
Question:	will it hold 3 inch pad/disc as well
Answer:	I have only used the 2 inch pad on it. I honestly doubt a 3" would be supported well. It would have a half inch around the perimeter hanging off. The 2 inch fits exactly.
