In another thread I asked for suggestions on a starter wood turning set. A few responded recommending the 8 piece set by Hurricane Turning Tools, which apparently is a proprietary brand from The Woodturning Store. This set seems like a good fit for me but I'm skeptical about a few things. After doing a little more research online there seems to be no shortage of starter sets using high speed steel but prices range from about $80 to a little over $200. The sets I'm referring to including the Hurricane set do not give a specification on the HSS and are most likely made in China. Is it fair to say that these will vary in quality and if so what assurance is there that one is better than another other than anecdotal evidence?
