I have been turning pens for about a year with a skew and gouge and a woodchuck. I have just started experimenting with turning bowls and will need to buy a set to better turn bowls and achieve the proper angles.
I know there are many brands out there and in their own right they might all do a pretty good job is sharpened and used properly. I also here that HSS or M2 HSS is a good way to go.
I was wondering if anyone would like to recommend some brands or sets that would be a good balance of quality and price with no buyer remorse 3-6 months later. I guess I would compare it to saying I think I like golf enough to get rid of my used set of Wilson's from a garage sale and someone claims that the only way to go is to buy custom Ping clubs for $2,000. On the otherhand, I don't think I would be buying a set of chisels from Harbor Freight for $60.
Just looking for some sound practical advise.
Thanks,
Mike
