Some time ago, I wrote about purchasing a full size lathe that was an upgrade from my mini bench top lathe. You can see this post here .
The only lathe tools that I had were the little ones meant for pen turning on the mini lathe. I started to look online for a set of lathe tools that would be more suitable for larger turning. Now, I’m no turner, and I’m fairly new to it, so I decided that replaceable carbide lathe tools were the right tools for me. I know, I know, pro turners will tell you that these are all just scrapers, but I’m ok with that. I liked the look of the full-sized EZWood tools, but, wow are they expensive.
One day, I was browsing on the woodnet.net forums and saw that one of the members was listing for sale lathe tools that he made to order. A little further digging revealed that he had his own website where he offers the tools for sale. You can see his website here: https://www.ncwoodturningtools.com . I contacted John to enquire about having a set made to my specifications.
