WEN CH11 6-Piece Artisan Chisel Set with 6-Inch High-Speed Steel Blades and 10-Inch England Beech Handles

I am very amateur when it comes to woodworking but this seems to be a good starter set. I got this along with the lathe and very happy with the sharpness and quality. The handles are a comfortable length and are easy to hold onto. The case is convenient for storage and holds everything secure. I am not familiar with the cost of the other chisel sets but this was not very expensive compared to others I viewed.

This was my first foray into turning. Without experience with other brands, i can say I was very happy with this set. It has everything I required, although I may yet buy a bowl gouge. I found they were pretty sharp and held an edge OK. I had to sharpen after 6 smaller projects, but these were all very hard woods. They do not seem to run as smooth or cut as much as the youtube videos I learned on, which is likely part technique part tool. But for a beginner, these do what you want, and if you get more serious you can spend more for higher end tools. But as a whole set of 6 tools cheaper than even a single high end tool, its perfect for beginners.

This is a good selection of tools

The tools are thick, which makes them sturdy and forgiving. It also means that the parting tool takes a lot more material than you might otherwise want. That's really the only tool that is affected by the thick steel of the tools. I figure I'll just grab a different parting tool for when I want to take less material. All in all, I was very pleased with the quality of this set. It has all the basic tools my turning instructor says you need along with one other that I think will be useful in making a few cuts easier than using a gouge. Usually when you get a "bundle" that includes "beginners" tools they end up being complete crap. Kudos to Wen for NOT doing that to their customers. FWIW most of the tools I purchase are DeWalt. If I can't get a DeWalt version, or if I don't want to invest much (usually when I think I will only get occasional use out of a tool) I buy Wen. They don't make "cheap" tools, they make "basic" tools - high quality, low price, only the features you need.

Great fast shipping. Quality product. Thank you.
