SKU: 112624 Easy Core 18" Swing Base Set

A coring system saves the inside of the bowl that would normally be turned to shavings.  The profits from these "extra" bowls will pay for the coring system and utilize expensive wood to a maximum.  

The Easy Core has a secure smooth feel when in use and does not feel "grabby".  The Easy Core features a pivot arm with a replaceable cutter.  The pivot arm rests on a support finger that keeps vibration to a minimum during the cut. The support finger is held on a separate post that is adjusted for each size of core being cut.  

A 12" long handle is included to attach to the pivot arm for the operator to hold on to during the cut.   The cutter is  designed so that no relief cut needs to be made like some other systems. As the cutter penetrates the wood, clearance is created on each side.  The cutter is made of CPM M-4 high speed steel to stay sharp longer and can be easily replaced.  A Carbide Cutter is available as an option. 
The system is made up of a Base Set and a choice of four Knife Sizes.

Each Base Set includes the steel support base, two support columns, spacers, handle and wrench. Base Sets are available to fit lathes with swings of 16", 18", 20", 22", 24" or 25". 

The Knife Sets available for coring are able to cut sizes approximately 1-1/2" larger or smaller than the size listed.  The following sizes are  available: 9", 11-1/2", 13" and 16".  Each knife set includes a support finger of the proper size to support the arm and reduce vibration.

A clamp block to fit your lathe must be ordered separately from the related items below to attach the base set to your lathe.

The Knife Sets and a clamping block must be purchased separately to be used with the Base Set to complete the Easy Core System.
