Well I have a lathe, Jet Mini Lathe at a yard sale Great Shape and a Great Deal!!! I am looking at pen turning to start and need advice on tools. I have one (1) chisel that came with the lathe and it is not very good at all. I know many of the things I need for pen turning -mandrel, bushings eets. I have looked at starter kits but the quality of some of the tools seems to be mediocre at best. Biggest question is on a pen mill. I have looked at many and have yet to fined one that seems to e good for the money. The Whiteside has bad reviews as far as it staying sharp and some of the others have no reviews at all. Any suggestions and comments appreciated.
Thanks
Billy
