    Turning Tools - Good Buy?

    I'm not a turner, but I have a friend who inherited his Dad's lathe (+ much more). He loves turning. Are these somewhat inexpensive turning sets a good buy?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Benjamin's Best are pretty repectable tools for a moderate price.

    I second Benjamins Best. I have several I bought when I started over two years ago and still use most of them.
