I have a Powermatic 3520 B (20 inch throw). After blowing up some larger bowls, I decided to start smaller to get use to the tools. That way, if I destroy my project, I won't have a lot of time invested.
I am doing small bowls, boxes, fridge magnets, wine bottle stoppers and a gazallion finger tops trying to get one to consistently spin longer than 60 seconds.
I can now avoid catches, for the most part.
I am ready to try hollowing some smaller forms.
Since I am going small, initially, would the Sorby Mini Hollowing tools be a good start?
I also looked at the termite, seems to be a little different approach.
Thanks for any advice, or short commings the various tool might have, you would like to share.
