Carbide Tipped Wood Lathe Turning Tools Set with Bowl sander, Lathe Rougher And Finisher Swan Neck Hollowing Tools and Interchangeable Foam Handle with 5pcs Carbide Inserts for woodturning

Nice handles and solid steel attachment inserts.

I've got a nice JET lathe and have some basic skills so far. This set interested me for the curved bowl blade I don't have one like that even though I have some good fixed handle cutters. The box is one of the best boxes I've seen in quite a while. Aluminum solid case and the foam inserts actually work as they should. The shafts slide out and lock in with two allen screws. All of my tools are fixed lenght and this is totally new - and I love it. For smaller work this are pretty precise and sharp out of the box. Extra screws an allen wrench and a small wrench are also included.Firing up the lathe with a scrap piece of wood and I used all of the tools. Being able to change the length is just too cool. The foam handle, which I sort of dismissed, is very confortable without losing your "control" that I have with wood handle tools. They all cut well with some ripping but I put that down to the wood more the blades. I'll try better wood next but I have no complaints at all. I'm not sure why the other end is threaded...I tried the sander attachment - it's round instead of square like the bladed spun right off twice while sanding until I realized what the wrench was for... problem solved. No need for this on flat sanding and I can't wait to try it on the interior of a bowl. I do need to find where to get replacement sandpaper and blades.For about $120 this is a great starter set and I would highly recommend this set to get going. The adjustable length concept is truly game changing.

I just recently got a lathe and these are the first tools I have used. They feel good in my hands and are easily maneuverable. They have a good weight which I feel is a strong positive for these kinds of tools. The heads can be swapped easily and everything can be cleaned after each use.
