Been turning for about 8 months and use a small carbide tipped gouge to rough and do 90% of my finishing. I just can't seem to master a skew without removing nothing, or causing chatter, or chipping. So, I just stick with what i can use.
That said. I love the carbide tipped tool because I don't have to sharpen and that saves me time and money in additional equipment. I know pros....lazy mans approach.
All that said, I see the carbide insert tool from PSI pen genie. It has different tool inserts, all flat, all 2" rad, combo. Thinking about biting but 60 is a little salty considering the insert is only about $15. Anyone have a tool like this. Is it forgiving or limiting? Useful? Gimmick or legit?
