This review is from: Freud 8-Piece Wood Turning Tool Set TT-108 (Misc.)

A seasoned turner first introduced me to wood turning chisels by explaining that for each 20 minutes of turning he does, he spends 30 minutes sharpening his tools. Half of the problem is how to sharpen them in the least amount of time, with the smallest amount of effort. The Tormek Sharpening system is the answer for that, but at a hefty price. Then the next consideration is how long they keep an edge once you get there. These Freud turning tools are the answer for that. Sharp edges equal the best work, and these chisels give you the longest edge at the best price, considering the prices of the upper level competition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well made but dull down pretty quickly., June 9, 2003

I have owned the freud lathe chisels for several months. They cut very well. But they do seem to dull down pretty quickly. But of course most chisels don't see to stay sharp very long. I would buy them again and they are perfect for the beginner because they do cut very well. Would recommend them to anyone.
