Let me hear your input.... this is the greatest treasure trove of information on the internet...

Well, most of mine has been self schooling, Some pearls from my club:
One guy says anything over 6 inches long, he uses a faceplate, another says you can only hollow on an average of ten times the diameter of your boring bar! In other words, my Jameson clone is 1" in diameter, therefore, my depth is basically limited to 10" as a general rule of thumb. I have done deeper but control and quality starts to fall off fast. Small shallow stuff, I like a roundnose scraper.
