I was thinking of using the traveling base because it's smaller & lighter. I'll spend some time on it this weekend, maybe it's not as feasible as I thought.

J I agree with Nick. I have a Norvice and I can't see how this works on it by spinning the base. Mine is attached to a piece of Corian. It is great for weight and working but I can't see turning it. I must be missing something. Mike On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 4:45 PM, Niclas Runarsson <niclas.runars...@soderhamn.com> wrote: > I'm not sure we're talking about the same weave here anymore.
