I'm new to Sawmill Creek and to turning. I'm hoping to get some guidance on what turning tools to buy. I'm getting conflicting information on what type of steel is the best for turning tools.

I've been told that 2060 is better than 2030 because it holds an edge longer.

I've been told that 2030 is better because it is easier to sharpen and the edge is not as brittle as 2060.

When I read the posts here I see that a lot of turners like Doug Thompson's tools with the CPM 10V (A-11) steel.

I would appreciate some guidance from Turners with experience using different tools, their preferences, and why.

Thanks in advance.
