Wood Carving Lathe Discount

Reviews

Really decent quality set. Nice handle length and a great set - especially for a starter.

Some have complained about the wooden chisel storage box. I ordered for the chisels not the box and was surprised that the box arrived intact and is a fine compliment to the chisels. The chisels required a touch up sharpening but all in all this has been a worthwhile purchase.

A fantastic set for those just starting to turn. They hold an edge well and for a pretty long time. Only negative is that the handles are a bit short, but if you have a lathe, it's easy to turn your own longer handles! GREAT value for the price. You get a lot more than you pay for with these.

After reading all these comments, I thought I was gonna get a broken box and some crappy chisels. And i was right :) but it's not THAT BAD. As i said, you get what you pay for. I just got these a couple minutes ago so I haven't gotten the chance to test them out. And I won't be able to until Christmas. But I'm sure they're good, and sharp. On the other hand... when I opened it up I found that my 3/4" chisel (7th one from the left in that picture) was bent, more than just a little, but I'm still a rookie turner so I'm not sure if its suppose to be like that. But i highly doubt it. As for the box, It's oooook, I just have to re-glue the middle divider. And there's some strange red marker (i hope its marker) stuff on the bottom of it. That's all I've got to say about these. Hope i helped :)

Due to my inexperience I broke the 7/8 gouge on the very first day of use. While trying to turn some "yard oak", I was using the gouge on the end of the piece and had a massive kickback that broke the gouge at the handle. I contacted PSI Customer Service, told them what happened, and with in days, they sent me a replacement part. No hassles, just had to send in pictures of the broken part. Now I just need to learn the correct way to use the tools.
