So I’ve cleaned up my old sm 1100 lathe that was given to me, all the parts glide nicely and the tool rest I’ve made smooth,
I’ve got the chuck in my basket a record power sc4 ( I think that’s what it’s called)
when I actually get round to turning I’m hoping to just make little things like needle boxes, tree ornaments, possibly the odd bowl, when I get more experience I want to make threaded boxes
But now I can’t decide on wether I should get a traditional turning chisel set, or a carbide set.
What are the pros and cons for these, and run a quick search on the forum but failed to see any similar threads for this
Thanks for any advice.
