A quicky product review.

I got a set of these tools, the mini set, the rougher, the
finisher, and the detailer. VERY easy to learn and VERY
easy to use. The learning curve to turning has almost
disappeared. It is hard to screw up with these tools and
they reportedly stay sharp for a very long time. When
dull rotate the carbide cutting tip and you have a new
cutting surface.
When the carbide tip is toast, replace it for about
$15~$18. I was
told that a tip was good for about 300 pen blanks.


Anyway my other 15 or so tools will collect dust and NO
MORE SHARPENING!


Are they secret or are you going to give us a link?

Duh! For all of the other people as dumb as I you can look
here...

Actually I copied the link with the sole purpose of pasting it in the
review and then did not. Good thing the title said it all. :~)

I've been using the mini finisher exclusively for all of my pen turning
for about a year now (well, except for tenons on those pens that require
such). Works equally well on wood and acrylics.

Good to know about the acrylics. Have you turned any of the metals or
stones blanks yet?
