Worst tool you've had

<< < (2/2)

I love using ring tools. I find the control is better in most cases for me than a standard bowl gauge. Just don't put an RS2000 in my direction. I may just melt it down and make a better tool lol.

I used to own an RS2000 and it was a nightmare. talk about extremely dangerous. Now you'd think for a tool which has locking handles that each spindle of the tool would have flats as well as dimples for the bolts to pin to. no such thing. The rs2000 is completely round. there is a ring point but no security. I was working with this to produce a large form as a wedding present and as I started cutting, it just undone itself causing the cutter to move. retightened it and it happened again and again. I got that sick of it that it was sold days later. I couldn't believe that Robert Sorby would design a tool which is basically a death trap to a turner.

have fun and happy shavings.
