turning tools need recommendation
Will be getting a Jet 1442 this week and need recommendation on a decent turning set that will not break the bank, I was looking at the Pinnacle starting set. Any thoughts? recommendations? Also need a good book for starting basics plan to do legs and some bowls ect..
Thanks

I'm gonna reverse my opinion
I'm gonna change my mind about what I said regarding purchasing a tool set. I just received my Woodcraft sales flyer and I see they have a 6 pc Sorby turning set that normally sells for 200 bucks on sale for 150. This set contains a 3/4" roughing gauge, 3/8" bowl gauge, 3/4" oval skew, 1/8" parting tool, and 1/2" round nosed scraper. That should be enough to get anyone started and you can do both spindles and bowls. I like Sorby tools anyhow so I would recommend this set. I forgot the 3/8" spindle gauge.
