Hi Bob,
Glad you like the CCL - as you have noticed the same lathe is available from
a number of places under different names and higher prices.

The main problem with cheap turning tools is that they will not hold their
edge for very long. None the less, they should sharpen OK and you will
certainly be able to turn some interesting pieces!

Apart from the quality of the steel, the other big difference between
chisels is the length of handle. This makes a big difference in the "feel"
when turning and you may find it useful to experiment with different
lengths.

Happy turning !!
