Ready to dive into woodturning or upgrade your toolkit? This Hurricane 8-piece starter set has everything a new or intermediate turner needs. It's made from high-speed steel (HSS), which is a huge upgrade from old carbon steel tools – it holds an edge up to 8 times longer, so you spend less time sharpening and more time turning. The set includes all the essentials: a 1/2\ bowl gouge (on a 5/8\ bar), a 1/2\ spindle gouge, a 1\ roughing gouge, a 1\ skew chisel, a 3/4\ diamond parting tool, and three scrapers (1\ round nose, 1/2\ round nose, and 3/4\ square nose). Each tool comes securely fitted into a solid beech wood handle of the proper length, with some handles as long as 16 inches for better leverage and control. They're manufactured to Hurricane's specifications for quality and performance. This is a fantastic, affordable way to get a complete set of durable tools that will handle most spindle and bowl turning projects. Just pair them with a good sharpening system (they recommend CBN wheels) and you're set to create. A perfect foundation for your workshop.
