The handles are small and all the tools are the same size. For example, the parting tool doesn't line up with the handle well which I didn't see immediately and was wondering why it wasn't sharpening straight. However, when I opened the box, it appears the rack holding the chisels had broken, the middle bar had fallen off and the bottom rack had some of the peaks snapped off.

Great buy and value! Pics of projects, not the tools, can see those in product pics! By michael crippen on December 18, Images in this review. Got these for the price. If you are new to working with a lathe these are the chisels you want. No they are not top of the line. They are good chisels and you get 8 of them. As anyone knows that have worked with a lathe you will gravitate to a few chisels more most of your work.

This set give you 8 to use and find out which ones you really like so when you do drop the big bucks you and do it on the chisel you really want and not on one that you hardly ever use. So unless you don't care and have to have the best regardless of use this is a great set to start with. I have to mention my favorite scrapper was one of the more poorly put together chisels. The hole was not drilled well so it is cocked to one side.

I have to say I like the feel of it. I think of it as the euro grip chisel sine I tend to stand cock to the side also. Anyway, this was a very good buy. Like many of you I've learned from the masters by watching videos, Capt Eddie among my favorites. My wood lathe sat around for awhile, then finally I bought a mini metal lathe and was hooked once I did a few simple things. I started watching woodworking videos again where the wood lathe was being used.

At some point I sharpened them up and I began to learn and develop skills. Great hobbie - if you're not a professional, but want tools that can give you professional results, it might not be a bad idea to look into these tools. For many they would be a good starter set, for some a very good starter set. Great way to start the journey. I picked this up as my first set for my lathe, which for the price and as a novice to turning, i'm cool with as I don't need to ruin an expensive tool.

That being said, the order shipped and arrived promptly. However, when I opened the box, it appears the rack holding the chisels had broken, the middle bar had fallen off and the bottom rack had some of the peaks snapped off.

Not a big deal overall, some super glue and the box should be as good as new. Most of the tools are poorly sharpened, and I would highly recommend touching them up before using them. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. Not the worst product, definitely not the best, will get the job done though. After reading some of the negative reviews I was a bit worried but when they came in they were in perfect condition.

I never trust edged tools for sharpness so I planned on touching up the edges anyway. Only one of the skew chisels had what I would call a 'Bad' edge.

I have done a lot of work in Asia and I realize one product is often sold under several names but I found it odd that these were clearly not 'PSI' but 'Bejamins Best'. No matter, they work fantastic. Just to put them through a quick test I grabbed a hunk of limb from an appricot tree that died in my orchard. I used every chisel to test them and thet were all fantastic. As you can see in my pictures my lathe is a low-end Cummins but I had zero issues.

Not a single catch and that is impressive since I did not knock the corners off with the bandsaw as you can see. I may still modify the heel but I would do that even with an expensive set. A few things to note that I read in other reviews: 1 If you use these correctly there is never enough pressure to snap the steel. To be sure that doesn't happen, watch Richard Rafan's video on 'Catches'. If they are, my uncle who was a proffesional wood worker would litterally soak them in water overnight to allow the wood which had over dried to swell up and tighten the ferrules again.

I would think a light oil would work better but I didn't question what he did. They will be in a handmade rack behind the lathe. So the bottom line is that I am very happy with the purchase and highly recomend them. These are a phenomenal deal. If you are starting out, and just need something to learn with, hone your skills with, etc. So start with something affordable, make your mistakes, and then strive for perfection. Top reviews from other countries.

Delivery was slow but product looks to be excellent, I will review further when I've had more time with the tools. Very good customer care when contacted. Report abuse. On a trip to a store to buy garbage bags I somehow ended up coming home with a wood lathe. After a quick search I ended up with these. I was pretty impressed when they arrived at their quality for that price point. They were a decent enough size and came in wooden box for storage.

In that price the only thing else I could find that was comparable were single or double tools. They were better quality, but I needed a full set to start. After initial inspection most of the edges needed some fine tuning before they cut properly, but nothing major and they would work right out of the box if needed.

They are comfortable to use and perfect for my use. I bought this based on most of the reviewers saying it was a good set for a beginner. However there are a few issues you should be aware of. There is some kind of plastic coating on them I found threw me off when I was sharpening them. You will have to sharpen them and put proper edges on the gouges. The handles are small and all the tools are the same size. I have learned that some tools need a little more handle Jet Wood Turning Lathe For Sale size so you can lock between your hip and forearm.

These are undersized for me but I'm not a small guy either. Some of the tools are not bedded straight. For example, the parting tool doesn't line up with the handle well which I didn't see immediately and was wondering why it wasn't sharpening straight.

Even worse goes into the wood at an angle you don't expect. I call it the V tool now. In compression mode, they are used to grip down on a tenon. In expansion mode, they expand into a Some turners use the serrated jaws instead of dovetail jaws in compression mode for gripping a tenon or for internal holding within a recess.

They can be used for this but they are not as strong as For Wood Lathes with M33 x 3. Hurricane M42 Cobalt Drill Bit, 7. This jaws set consists of our 10" convertible plates with a set of expanson plates that take the overall diameter to 15".
