Wood turning tools starter set?
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 6:35 am
Since I finally have a small metal lathe and am about to buy a decent chuck for it (oneway basic + #2 tower jaws or a set of smokindawg's jaws), I now also have the need for some wood turning tools.
I am looking for basic starter tools, where price is currently even more important than quality. I'm not looking to spend over $100 in turning tools to get me going.
However, there's so many different tools, that I have no clue on what to buy in this case...
I've searched this forum, but only came up with 2 relevant results. One was the "Easy Wood Turning tools", which are $130 each and thus way out of budget, the other was a short list of the tools Kurt uses, which I can't seem to find anymore...
One thing I do know is that I prefer working with solid tools instead of changeable cutter blades. I want to learn how to sharp them anyways.
So if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome! I'm buying from Europe, so I prefer online shops with overseas shipping or better yet: amazon.
Thanks!
