Bowl From Board Easy Cut System

Brought to you from Ron Brown's Best,LLC

This Easy Cut System eliminates about 90% of the cutting and gluing associated with traditional segmented construction. Depending on how you construct your board, the end results can be spectacular. There are many fine videos on YouTube with instructions for gluing up your starting blank.

I designed the Bowl From A Board Easy Cut System to be quick and easy to set up and use. I recommend using the narrowest parting tool you can find, typically 1/16" to 3/32". It really makes a difference in how the rings stack together. The thin parting tool will yield maximum wall thickness.

The attached video provides valuable insight for setting up and using this new system successfully.

Although you can use boards thinner than 3/4", we believe you will have better success using material from 3/4" to 1" to begin with. After you have had some practice, experiment with thicker or thinner material.

You can also use different angles on the same board. For Example: 1st ring cut 45 degrees, 2nd ring cut 55 degrees, third cut (base) 60 degrees will yield a bow with more of a traditional curve rather than straight sides.

NOTE: The parting tool will be perpendicular to the template. Set up as directed in the video and you will be amazed at how quick and easy it is to use your Bowl From A Board Easy Cut System.

Each system will need a post to fit your lathe banjo. I know the specs for most common lathes so if you provide the brand and model number, that is usually all I need. If I need more info, I'll contact you.

include a 11/16" Forstner Bit matching the diameter of the blade holder tube. It should yield a perfect fit into your wooden tool handle. $6 retail value.

Customer Feedback:

Some folks tell me their banjo won’t slide far enough back to make the last cut or two. The Angle Setting Templates make this easy. Simply turn the Banjo around 180 degrees so the handle is in the rear.

Bruce David is one of our customers who very creatively solved an issue with his Powermatic 2014. When the banjo wouldn't slide far enough back, he simply turned the jig around and used it from the other side. Brilliant thinking, Bruce! See the photos attached.

Notice for Laguna Lathe Owners:

1) Due to the unconventional banjo configuration, we use a knurled post so your banjo will hold it properly. This usually solves the issue. However, some customers have added a thin aluminum strip to the post for the Laguna’s banjo to obtain a firm grip on the post of the Amazing Hollowing Stabilizer.
