Hello,
I am a full time woodworker but brand new to woodturning. I am planning on purchasing a jet mini lathe and I am about to buy my first set of tools. I was looking at the Henry Taylor mini tools as a possibility. After doing some reading on the forum to get some recommendations I noticed that just about everyone seems to recommend going with full sized tools over midi / mini tools. I am wondering if that is always the case even if you are only looking to turn small scale objects - no bowls full sized spindles, etc? I am buying the lathe to do some production runs of a very specific small scale item for my business - spindles less 3/8" diameter tapering to 1/16" between 4-7" long with beads coves etc. These will be crochet hooks and needlework tools. My question is given what I will be turning would you still advise buying full sized tools? Thanks, Emily |
