Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Your Woodworking Skills with the PSI Woodworking LCHSS8 Wood Lathe 8pc HSS Chisel Set by Mike Calderon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unexpected quality for the price

I found the carbide quirky and catchy for what I do so I had to do a proper HSS dip. You should get a comfortable sharpening (definitely don't learn to sharpen on a $90 notch first). All chisels and HSS chisels must be sharpened; the expensive ones are just rarer. I just roughed a square wooden cylinder and lazily stopped at the outside edges of the notch instead of "wearing evenly". I fully expected the edge to need touching up, ran my finger over it. , and cut it off because I didn't expect it to still be fully sharp. blood on my tree Very, very satisfied. Really high speed steel. Another brand had reports of steel flaws and glitches. PSI has good quality control for the price and the "Benjamin's Best" they sell as PSI I will be using for the rest of my life. If I buy a fancy instrument or two that cost as much as this whole set, it won't be anytime soon and I'll know better which ones I like best. Now I'm making money from it. I wouldn't buy a low speed sharpener if all I thought about was that I can sharpen on the back of my lathe or on a cheap spare headstock on a workbench set slow enough to avoid overheating the HSS and increasing mastery to lose. It's good to have a grinder after all but save at least $150, I bought the orange #100 and the wheels are dated and it vibrates a bit. In any case, take this PSI "Benjamin's Best" chisel and chisel. This model, like other good deals, may disappear.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
