“I have yet to turn a project with these, but they appear well made and are packaged well. They fill a gap in my tool set.”

“There are some things you should know before buying this set. First of all, while it's HSS, don't use them on any high speed tool. They're just too short, and you endanger yourself. Secondly, that they need sharpening means they truly need sharpening, not just that this will improve them. The parting tool in particular is about as sharp as a screwdriver and needed both filing and sharpening. I would also recommend not using the 1/8" tools except on soft woods. The parting tool will go hot and burn the wood as it can't lead the heat away, and the spindle gauge is thin all the way and will both go hot and flex significantly, even if the toolrest is right up to the wood. Those caveats taken into account, it's a good set for the price, and can be a good starter set for "light" work like bottle stops and pens. Add a roughing gouge, which this set lacks, and it's a great start. But if you want to turn an ebony or cocobolo bowl, these are not the tools you are looking for.”
