I saw these on ebay and since I have been considering trying hollow forms (small vases, rolled edge bowls, etc.)
I was wondering if anyone had used these and if so, were they worth the $$ http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowconfused.gif

they look like Sorby clones - about 2 for the price of 1 Sorby, plus the calipers and extra 'tips'. have never used this brand of tool, though. I've been wanting the smaller Sorby one for small hollow forms - I like the style of these tools. Keep in mind that not all HSS is created equal. Don't know if this is any help, but... Mike :o
