 You get what you pay for July 2, 2008

At $6.50 a tool you get what you pay for, not a bad purchase for the price. Next time I will pay more and get better quality. I had to re-temper the tips, because they would hold an edge.
 Tools are a great beginner's find June 12, 2008

I had no idea what all I wanted but I found this set and feel it will teach me how to use the lathe. Also will teach me what tools I will need in the future. The tools I found a little dull and needed sharpening. The tools came in a timely manner

This set is nice and heavy, seems like a good deal, but make sure you sharpen the edges straight out of the box. I'm new to turning so at first I didn't know anything was wrong, except that people on TV seemed to cut through stock like butter, and I was struggling to round-out a square blank. I honed the blades a little with an eze lap paddle, and wow, the difference was like night and day. I don't know how long these chisels will hold an edge, but they are capable of very nice cuts. Also, there is some kind of coating on the steel that I removed with fine sandpaper before honing.

Overall good set of chisels - I would recommend esp for those new to turning or sharpening. I was very concerned about the loose handles as others have described, but fortunately my set were all secure. I think the picture led me to think they would be longer than they are, but had I paid attention to the "Product Details" that stated the shipping dimensions are only 18x2x13, my expectations would have been more realistic. Regardless, they are still comfortable and fun to use. All pieces needed sharpening before using especially the 2 larger gouges, so be sure you have access to a grinder (slow speed) or somewhere you can get them honed - I think Woodcraft offers a sharpening service. Given the free shipping and $30 savings for opening an Amazon credit card, the cost was only $19.99 - about $2.50 per chisel for M2 steel! Bottom line, I'm glad I got them and I'd get them again.

I have to say I have purchased three of these sets in the last few years. I like them for small turning work. They aren't the highest quality available, but more than worth the money.
