AndrewB Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Any how I purchased carbide tipped chisels. They are the Savannah Carbide Turning Tool Large Size 3 piece set. Which I bought all three of them in one go. Not a tool review by any means since I haven't used them as much. But so far I can say I like them. I started turning a new piece since the other piece I was working on quite literally snapped in half on me any how no big deal. So I put up the black walnut piece that I had started and about a half hour to an hour or so later I had something of a shape turned out maybe it will make some what of a candle holder but it turned into more of a tier drop shape. Link to tools https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GQIYUZA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. But from what I can say I like the round one. Works well hogs off a lot of wood. I was semi swapping back and forth from the HSS to the Carbide the carbide worked alright. I'll post some picks once I get back out to the shed. just trying to figure out a wood screw issue for the face plate, I guess the ones that I was using were too small for it so I will have to buy some longer ones. Any how yea the Wen variable works like a breeze. But did not drop lower than 700 unless I had a tool load on it. lew, p_toad and FlGatorwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Hope you will post an in-depth review of these tools after you have had a chance to really experience them.

AndrewB Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well this is what I have turned a nice looking candle stick I’ve still got to drill out the hole for it and it it off and polish it but it’s sanded up to 400 grit. I also threw in a couple shots of the lathe and a shot of the chisel sharpener as I said I would. p_toad, Gunny and FlGatorwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Just curious but did you turn the banjo around before taking the picture? FlGatorwood and HandyDan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewB Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well it didn’t come out exactly the way I wanted it to so I’ll do it again tomorrow and glue up a fresh block either way I’m havin fun learning it. Not exactly sure of what turn the banjo means exactly.... FlGatorwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlGatorwood Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I think Lew is speaking of the tool rest. It appears to be very close to the wall, making you a really thin person. Gerald, lew and Gunny 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewB Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yea I actually threw that and purposely put that back there for sanding so I got that worked out at least. Turning needs a lot more practice. lew and Gunny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewB Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well double bonus I just purchased my jaw chuck for my lathe. It was just a little added bonus for me should be here tomorrow I purchased it directly from Wen so I knew I was getting the right one for the machine. Well at least I'll be able to turn small bowls now. Should be fun. p_toad and Gerald 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
