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

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

There is small chance of collapse with that turn.
