Customer Reviews for VEVOR Woodworking 8 Pcs Lathe Chisel, Wood Lathe Chisel Cutting Carving HSS Steel, Wood Turning Tools for Hardwood, One Free Chisel (Wooden Storage Case)

The chisels come very sharp. But with using them they get dull quick. Need to come with a sharpening stone or tool to sharpen them correctly.

These chisels are a great starter set. They are a nice quality and well made. They fit well in my hand and the weight is evenly distributed. Nice set!

Great quality!! Buy them

The quality was way more than I expected, the price was fantastic, it will make a great addition to my woodworking tools.

What an amazing deal for a starter set of chisels. This is a new adventure for me. I really think these will be a fun new experience.

Of course at the great deal I was able to get they might not be the very best option. That being said I don’t think you could find anything as nice for the same money. I’m thrilled with my purchase ! Thank You

The grinds were a bit rough with burring at the tip, but I can easily fine tune that myself. They are solidly made, and at the sale price these are an exceptional value. They also includes a hinged wooden box for storage, which is a nice bonus.

While one could sharpen these up and get right to work with them, I knew what I was getting into when I purchased the 12-piece set. I really dislike the handles. Thankfully, I'm a woodworker.... Handles aren't a big deal. I will be fitting these with new, more comfortable handles, and including steel strike ferrules on the back ends so they can be properly used with a mallet. Aside from polishing each tools steel portions, they all require a bit of set up (flattening, bevel geometry adjustments, easing of sharp edges along flats/lands) before use. Putting a bit of effort into your tools is highly rewarding and will ensure that they are capable of the jobs they are used for. Can't wait to make this set into something that I'll reach for on every project!

Like most imports, these come with a basic edge shaped. They will need to be refined to your liking and use. Be aware that these are not a mallet drive chisel. So if you treat them as such, the handles will fail after a short time. Depending on the wood you may be using. If you give them a keen edge, you can use a nylon mallet and lightly tap your way through a project without damage to the handles. As these are designed more as a hand push chisel handle. Just think of it like, if you need a hatchet to do a job. You don’t take a hammer to the back of a knife blade. You go get a hatchet. If you want to use a mallet to bang your way through a carving project. You use chisels with steel handle caps.

Needs sharpening out of box and the box hinges are flimsy
