Benefits of Carbide Lathe Tools: Simple to use for all skill levels making woodturning fast and more enjoyable. You can focus on your project and not on techniques or sharpening. No long learning curve or expensive sharpening equipment. You can begin turning as soon as your box arrives because each tool comes with a very sharp, rotatable carbide cutter. Just rotate the cutter head ¼ turn for a clean, sharp edge and you are back to turning wood.

Gone forever is the long learning curve where precise angles and special tool presentation techniques must be mastered. Also gone is the need to master many sharpening techniques before you can even begin to turn, not to mention the expense of all that sharpening equipment. With Simple Woodturning Tools it’s all turning and no sharpening so you can start turning wood immediately.
These are excellent quality tools. I bought this set at the end of last year. I added the simple turner and hollower and the short square turner for pen turning. There's nothing wrong with the handle which is very nice, but I don't use it. It's too long for my work area and I don't turn large projects. Also, I don't want to have to remove and change the turners every time. I made my own handles for all five turners. I don't have the swan neck hollower yet but may buy it later. I also have some Easy Wood carbide tools but no larger size ones except for their parting tool. Easy Wood also makes very good quality tools and they use aluminum shanks. I like the Harrison HSS shanks better.There is definitely a learning curve to using carbide tools. Kerry does do an excellent Youtube demo showing the capabilities of these tools. The shear hollower is a little harder to learn, but it can be learned with some practice. I agree that these tools are easy to learn. What I like is that I have good control with them. Another reviewer complained about not being able to remove a nub with them. I just did that using a smaller EWT diamond detailer. I did discover that I had to use a very light touch. The light touch is what gave me the control I want and I think that's the secret of not getting a catch. Also, you have to pay close attention to what you're doing. Helloooo, you can't and shouldn't be day dreaming when using these tools. Make sure you have good lighting and watch very carefully. The shavings may build up on top of the cutter. I use an old paint brush, attached to the lathe with magnets, to wipe off the cutters. You can buy replacement cutters, but you can also save some $ by doing some sharpening with a flat diamond stone (cost < $25). Just rub the cutter top about 6 times or so on the stone. Even though I already had some tools, I was still inexperienced. These tools helped me make some nice projects and now I'm more confident and proficient with my "traditional" turning tools also. I like using the carbide tools and traditional tools and I use both on just about every project that I do. These carbide tools have really helped me in situations where I really needed to be very precise. They are a great addition to the turning world, IMO.Notice that I gave 5 stars even though I'm not using the interchangeable handle. That's because the handle is very good quality even though I've chosen not to use it.
