I have some turning tools that I got when I purchased my lathe. I can't believe the difference between them. Even when the other tools were new, they probably won't be as good new as this tool would be a year from now. Great item.

Just got sold on it...gave it a whirl with some rosewood and had my cub scout den learning to turn with it. EASY to use and control. I was told this was the " next generation" of turning tools... if thats the case ... it is a huge step. You can waste a lot of money trying to save a few bucks, buy these and don't look back, save space in the shop from no sharpeners, sharpening jigs, and a plethora of tools... 4-5 of these and maybe a few specialty tools will likely do 99% of the turning you will ever need/want to do. I know there is something to be said for the talent and skills of using the old style tools. But there was with being fast and accurate with muskets too. These are amazing gonna go get the finisher today methinks !!

Wow and Wow. The price initally scared me, however, I would not do without it now. The cutting and finishing capabilities of these are awesome. I bought the Round Finisher as well and am completely happy. Great for Mini, Small Medium and Big projects.

I started using this tool right out of the box. There was no steep learning curve. Now I have to have the other tools in the series. Turners take noted. You spend your time turning not sharpening.

Seems to rock on the tool rest and has a tendancy to catch when it does. Must keep tool rest clean of debri as you move the tool along.

The only drawback I can find is you have to purchase a different tool for each blade, would rather be able to purchase interchangable blade for each level of tool, ie. large, medium, small, mini.

I'm new to woodturning, started about 2 months ago. The traditioinal tools were a little hard to get used to. I bought the Ci1 & Ci0 and now I am able to turn items way beyond my skill level simply because of these tools and do it with out any fear of the tool catching. They stay sharp forever (well almost) and cut like a hot knife through butter, yes thats right, i've been turning maple and lots of it and it still cuts like new. Handle is very comfortable and well designed. Do yourself a favor and just buy the tools, you will not regret the purchase!
