So I have taken the plunge and purchased a used lathe which came with a set of tools. The tools have no branding so that should give some indication of the quality. :D With a little use in my less than skilled hands, the tools seem to work just fine however they lose their edge fairly quickly and I am free hand sharpening on a regular grinding wheel. (I know, don't cringe...).
I feel like my next investment should be some form of tool sharpening jig / rig as even if I had better tools, they would still need sharpening and I wouldn't like to hack them free hand on a regular grinding wheel.
Looking for advice and suggestions on tool sharpening options.
I did notice that timberbits has a good looking tool set on sale at the moment. Certainly within my budget. Do you think it worthy of my dollars?
