What method do you guys use for proper turning? I currently use a mine support to turn, not as effective as I'd want.

We just use a support to turn, as you said. I've not really tested turning and don't wanna risk the collapse 8-)

Maybe i'll try another way... Anyone else with ideas?

There is small chance of collapse with that turn.
