As Richard Raffan wrote in a recent article, buying a cheap
starter kit is never a good idea. Chances are that these
sellers bought a better lathe and better, HSS tools.
most of the sets are older
probably 20 years or more
and someone is buying them so i would guess the older sets are
better than a modern starter set
buyers are paying more than i would pay and i figure that they
are sought after for their quality
A lot, if not all of those older sets are carbon steel. 20 years
ago, those sets sold by Sears would not have been HSS.
