Not to sound like an advertisement or anything; I have no affiliation with Oneway or any company for that matter. I've been using my big bite spur since early June last year, and LOVE it. I use it all the time now. I've used it on about 150 to 200 bowls, up to 19" in diameter. I was worried at first about splitting when used along the grain, but have still yet to have a problem in this regard. Perhaps with dry wood it would be an issue, and certainly if I were using it to drive IN end grain, not compressing across end grain, or side grain for that matter.
I turn mostly natural edge bowls, and one of the things that makes the big bite invaluable to me is that I can reposition the log if I don't like the orientation once I have it round. I can line up the rim a bit better to make it more even, which is quite often an issue with natural edge bowls, one edge being much lower than another. With a faceplate, you don't have this option.
As far as the other drives on the market, I have the other oneway chuck-mount spur drive, which is just fine, but for really large pieces, the big bite is the first go-to tool! The Stubby drive looks great, but part of the reason I like the Oneway is that it saves me a huge amount of time that would otherwise be lost taking off the threaded spur drive, then threading on the chuck, etc. I just pop out the spur and turn around the blank into the ready waiting chuck jaws. I already have the tailstock close by so that if I need it to steady a large blank while centering in the chuck, its there.
The Vermec drive looks great! If it were available for a Oneway, I'd probably want one, but for the work I do, the big bite is sufficient.
