Can anyone offer recommendations for which chisels have worked best for initial turning of acrylic pen blanks? Spindle gouge vs roughing gouge, chisel size and brand. Any advantage of carbide tipped tools over M2 highspeed steel? Had success on my first 3 acrylic pens but blew out the 4th blank. How often are people sharpening the chisels when turning acyriics? Very sharp tools and light cuts/patience seem to be in order.
