    Is this a gloat??

    I'm fairly new to turning so I'll let the experts judge if this qualifies as a gloat. Picked up these GreenLee tools at an auction for $30.00. Can't find any info on them it appears that GreenLee has stopped making them.

    Gloat, I don't see no stinking gloat. Just some real nice looking tools. Next time post a pic of a new Oneway lathe and ask the same question. Only person that would agree with ya would be Andy.

    If you would of paid 3 times that amount--- it would of still been a good deal.
    You made a heck of a buy.

    I wouldn't consider them a gloat unless they were in my possession!

    Fantastic gloat!

    Jim - Don't listen to Jim. He listens to me way too much

    Those are definitely gloatworthy.

    My guess is that they're on the older side of old so they might not be the modern HSS. If so, they'll take a really good edge off the grinder, but won't keep it as long as HSS.
