Several bowls can be made
from one blank with minimum
wastage
TCT SLICER RS205
The hollow ground nose of the tungsten carbide tip allows deep plunge cuts, at any
angle, to remove cones from bowls and vessels. The Slicer can also be used as a
heavy-duty parting tool. The Slicer should be mounted in the Main Handle with the
Side Handle assembled at a convenient position on the Slicer blade. It is
recommended that the side handle be placed in the VERTICAL position to
counteract downward forces.
Mounting Side Handle
The Side Handle requires Collar (RS203C) & Stud (RS203S) for use with Slicer or
Hooker. The components are quickly assembled and can be readily locked in any
convenient position.
Using the Slicer to produce several items from one blank
Traditional bowl turning techniques are usually wasteful in terms of material and
time, and become particularly uneconomic when using expensive exotic woods. The
following techniques enable several products to be made with minimum wastage.
Utilising the outside wastage
Making a picture or mirror frame
Fig 1.
A)
Mount the blank
securely to a faceplate or screwchuck.
B)
Rough down to round with a suitable bowl gouge.
C)
Cut a groove (say
¼
” deep x
½
” wide) to accommodate thickness of glass & backing plate.
D)
Part in a little deeper at the inside edge of the groove.
E)
Remove the outside waste, at an angle, with the Slicer.
Fig 2.
A)
Mount a suitable spare block to the screwchuck (say
¾
” thick).
B)
Cut a rebate to suit the inside
Ø
of the frame and about 3/8” deep. NB. The edge of the
rebate should have a slight taper to ensure a good push-fit for the frame.
C)
Push frame into woodchuck.
D)
Shape the outside and front of frame.
E)
Finally sand & polish.
