>I saw Lyle Jamieson in person using his deep hollowing system at the AAW Symposium and even got some hands-on experience and help from him. I was amazed at how great that system works. However, when you add up all the parts of the system including the laser light attachment, it is quite expensive. None of them, including the Kelton and Reeks, are what I would call cheap. My question is: "What do you all consider the best"? Since they are all pretty pricey, I would not be adverse to kicking in a few more $$$ for whichever one is considered to be the best by all of you out there with experience.

>Check out Lyn Mangiameli's review posted July 8. It doesn't get more comprehensive than that.

>I'm partial to Lyle Jamieson's system. At the moment I have only his standard boring bar but will be adding his Jumbo bar soon. You can save some money by making your own seconday tool rest. It's really nothing but a piece of plywood and a couple boards. He includes instructions on how to make one. Mine took about 1/2 hour to make out of scrap.

The system works great, is safe, easy, accurate and fun. What more could you ask of a tool?
