I was reading today about the use of cole jaws and then read a couple different points of view on using them. I have never used them and have finished my bottoms in other ways but im wondering if they are as good as some say or as bad as others say.
* they can hold up to 10' diameter
* works good for bowls with clean sharp edges and not at all good for any natural edge bowls
* At the woodcraft website one of the comments say they are not worth having because he had to grind down the surfaces to get them to fit correctly and put tape on after due to poor machining quality
* The comment goes on to say they are a real pain to put on and get set right even after the additional surface machining and suggests to leave them on a dedicated chuck.
They are not cheap and im not sure they are worth bothering with now after reading the reviews.............comments ???
Maybe ill just stick to my donut, jamb
