I only use the Magical Skew and have loved it. As to the comment about why not use a traditional skew and to learn to use those...that is certainly an option, and there's no issue taken with that suggestion. However, in my case, the reason I returned all of the HSS tools I bought and used that money to purchase the Magical Skew (when I first started out) was strictly due to budget and learning curve. I quickly learned that to use HSS tools I needed a slow speed grinder, a wolverine jig, and CBN wheels. Those were things I could not afford after just purchasing the lathe and related equipment. Not to mention figuring out how to use them without ruining the tool first. In my opinion, there is no time savings as I would be sharpening otherwise.
Also there is certainly an element of purist ideals in these discussions (this isn't the first on this site) that traditional is better and/or should be the only method. Not saying that was the case here, but it certainly creeps into these discussions at times.
Use what you like and go make shavings
. It is been a couple of years since I've been able to turn regularly and I certainly miss it!
