1) Submitted by Joe Bailey, from Fort Worth, TX on 5/27/2010 Customer Rating: I am a relative newcomer to woodturning and I bought this set of tools thinking I might find them use in pen turning and other smaller projects even though I was otherwise advised. It turns out my instincts were absolutely correct. Even though my collection of lathe tools has grown considerably and I now have lots of other options, it is the Sorby mini tool I reach for every time when turning pen blanks or other micro or mini projects. Even rough turning a pen blank I crank up the lathe to full speed, put the gouge in the handle and quickly turn even the hardest wood down to size. A quick change to the scraper bit and I have a perfectly turned pen. I bought the sanding head for use with the same handle and it is very adept at sanding the interior of bowls and boxes, even some too small to get my ham hands into. There are times when it would be nice for each tool to have it's own handle, but in my opinion the low cost of these tools more than makes up for the minor inconvenience of bit changing.
