Customer Reviews:

Top Quality [Posted on 2007-03-09]
Made in Sheffield, England where the top name cutting tools such as Sorby and Crown are made. Just looking at these tools the quality is apparent, using them passes all expectations. Amazon price is right, free shipping was a bonus.

not worth the money [Posted on 2007-03-11]
I have turned quite a bit and have always used full sized tools. There were a few times when I needed to reach into a small space, so I ended up purchasing the mini tools. I have almost all Jet tools (lathe, table saw, band saw, sanders, etc.), so I didn't have any issues purchasing the Jet mini tools. After using them a few times, I would have to say that they are nice "toys" at best. I have used the parting tool and the skew most and the other tools are to flimsy to do anything with. I have ended up using a sharpened screwdriver for hard to reach places with much better results. Spend your money on some cheap screwdrivers and save the other $40 bucks for something else.

Nice Tools [Posted on 2007-04-13]
For pen turners and similar you can't beat these tools. They are not good for large turnings and were not designed to be. The are totally awesome for detail work on large pieces but not for intial work. The Quality and Value are Great.

Can't test the tools [Posted on 2007-05-07]
I can not rate the turning tools becasue the Jet lathe I ordered at the same time has bee back ordered for months. I was origianlly promised a 6 week back-order. The back-order was increased by another month and Amazon did not notify me. I found out only when I logged into my account.

No problems with these tools [Posted on 2007-08-27]
First mini lathe tools I have ever owned. They are working superbly. I don't know what else to say about them. I would buy more of the Jet lathe tools if I need any. To give you a reference I am turning pens.
