Hi Team, I spent yesterday with a mate who has just purchased a used tecknatool 16/44 lathe,vicmarc chuck with xtra jawsand a few other bits and pieces, all good stuff all working well. But his tools are a problem!!! a cheap set of very lightweight chinese? HSS? junk IMO. The scraper,skew,parting tool and roughing gouge can be used with relative safety and success if you have a light touch,I wouldn't like to take big bites with the roughing gouge!
The main problem is the bowl gouges, they aren't, they are very shallow, detail gouges maybe? with quite square grinds leaving scary wings. My question is with a regrind to a fingernail profile can these gouges be safely used for bowl turning, or is my first thought (place in bag with brick and throw in river, lake, over the fence rubbish bin you get the drift) correct. My mate was pretty adamant that he would learn to use these tools. Thanks for any replies Jay
