Carbide Lathe Tools, Christmas Gifts,Wood Lathe Tools with Removable Handle, 【Latest Upgraded】Turning Tool with Adjustable Connector including Swan Neck Hollower, Rougher, Finisher(Alloy Tool Set)

These lathe tools are very well made. They have replaceable tips which is a plus. I have been using them for sometime nowVery good and price is right

I bought these wanting to try the carbide tips. I feel like the product is good quality, the tips cut really well. I think the only downfall is changing out the ends every time you need a new tool and that the threaded parts will vibrate loose. I just put a little blue lock tight on the threads and that solved it. I might buy extra handle eventually.

These are good, sharp lathe tools. They remove material fast and make some clean shavings, and best of all, they stay sharp way longer than any HSS tools, which means I don’t have to pause my project to hone my tools every 5 minutes. I use them to turn very hard woods like Osage orange and lemon eucalyptus and these tools have no issue. I also really love how long these are!If you’re hesitant to buy carbide tools because you heard HSS is sharper or leaves a cleaner finish, don’t let that stop you. HSS dulls fast so they’ll only be sharper than carbide for a few seconds on the lathe, and I haven’t found the finish thing to really be a concern.The case they come in is sturdy and convenient with some high quality insert foam.The seller is super helpful, too. One of my tools came with a chipped cutter and they sent me a whole pack of spare cutters.I would say the only flaw these tools have is that the vibrations from using these on the lathe seem to make the threads on the ferrule rattle a bit loose. It’s only the thread of the ferrule itself that attaches to the handle, the set screws that clamp the actual tool are solid. The ferrule won’t actually come loose so it’s not a huge issue and all the pros these tools have more than compensate for this one con.I’d say you really can’t go wrong with them. They’re great tools for wood turning.

This set is a solid build well though out tool set. I really like the flexibility of configuration. You can use a different tool in each handle, or connect the handles together if you need more leverage. I can't see me needing that very often. So i have two handles. I turned some walnut bases for some lithophane lamps I made and the tools worked great. I'm just a beginning turner but the tools cut the walnut smooth as silk. I am very happy with the tools. The only suggestion I have is you may want to use some removable lock-tight on the handle adapter to secure it a bit better.If I could order two new handles I would and just keep all the tools mounted. I think this is a great value for a beginning word worker. They may even be great for a pro, but I'm not one so I can't judge that :)

I've been using these for a couple of months now and don't have any complaints other than.... they will unscrew unless you use a product like a liquid threadlocker to keep them together. I use a generous amount of the blue product and it has worked well to keep the handles from unscrewing. Other than that small complaint I have no reservations about recommending these to others. Carbides are a great way for a new turner to get involved in the craft at a lower entry price point.

Cheap, that’s about all I can say about it. It’ll do its job but it’s cheap. And that’s what I was going for I don’t always use my lathe in my shop and needed extras. Don’t expect to use it as your main tools for your lathe.

This set greatly lessened the learning curve of turning. The one thing it seems is that the blades don’t hold an edge very long. I have turned 4 bowls and have already had to turn the blades.

Good durability.
