Robert Sorby 67HS 6 Piece Lathe Turning Set with 3/4" Spindle Roughing Gouge, 3/8" Spindle Gouge, 3/8" Bowl Gouge, 3/4" Standard Skew Chisel, 1/8" Parting Tool and 1/2" Round Nose Scraper 67HS

Good overall. HSS is tricky to learn how to sharpen, but this is a good set for beginners and gets decent quality lathe tools for less that it would cost to buy them individually. Good for spindle turning more than bowl turning, which is usually where beginners start.

I bought this set as a gift. I had heard good things about the brand, and purchased the starter set. Unfortunately, after three uses, the parting tool broke off at the handle. There was no refund as they said if it breaks at the handle, that's because of "a catch" which isn't warrantied. I feel a good set, which I thought I had bought, should last longer than three uses.

I read some other reviews that these are Grizzly chisels? Maybe I Read wrong but these are certainly Robert Sorby chisels made in Sheffield England. Top Top quality. You cannot go wrong with it.I believe it was shipped by Grizzly though... came in a nice box. Nothing wrong with them whatsoever.You can plan on sharpening these before use to whatever angle you desire - this is standard for all turning tools that are bought brand new. I also read someplace else someone complaining they weren't sharp. They aren't! But that is par for the industry. You have to sharpen them yourself.

I have been turning for over 10 years and final purchased a Sorby set. They are without a doubt one of the finest turning tools available. Very sturdy and keeps a sharp edge longer than other tools.

Lathe tools are top quality.

Seem like good tools except for the parting tool witch snapped right at the handle the first time I used it. The rest of the tools worked good once you sharpen them.

Let me start with that I am still very new to turning. I just recurved this set yesterday and have been having a great time with them. Huge difference between the standard cheap tools that came with my lathe. With that being said, I was practicing with the skew and It caught and snapped in half, as you can see from the picture. I realize that I am still learning but I didn’t think that one catch would make the tool break in half the way it did. Still think this is a great set, just a little disappointed is all.Update: I would like to add that Robert Sorby has reached out to me about my issue and has sent a replacement skew for free. Great customer service!

Nice, solid set. Still need to learn how to sharpen them but they carve very well and it's nice to have the set.
