For you serious bowl turners, how important do you rate the large flat jaws in bowl turning?
The few bowls I have turned in the past, I sure could have used a set, but managed without them. I even went so far as to make a set of the variable diameter out of quality 1/4 inch plywood. Did an excellent job but there seemed to be some off center by a smidgen when setting up the bowls. It could handle 10 inch bowls on the outside and 11 inch inside. I threw it away because it was not perfect.
Anyway, with my Grizzly purchase, I am thinking of the flat jaws. How handy and accurate are they?
Thanks
