I've got the turbo and mini turbo.Made a couple of bowls then my very old grinder pack up and not replaced it yet.Not used it enough to say to much about them but seemed to work ok.I've asked santa for a new grinder and no i don't want another bike.

Great tool once you get the hang of it, if you get the angle wrong they will rip chunks out of your workpiece, that said once you get the feel for how it cuts, it makes a really nice cut and makes quick work of the most arduous material removal.

Do wear a good pair of gloves though and good all round eye protection is a must, those chips come out at a serious rate, enough to bring up a rash on your hand so your eyes haven't got a chance if you get a direct hit!

Spot on review. I've got mine now and can see the potential but as you say it will take a while to get a feel for it especially the light touch because it can remove wood at a rapid rate. I was gobsmacked at how smooth a finish can be achieved once used to it however. Great piece of kit.:thumbup:
