Hello
I am new to turning and currently do not own a lathe or turning tools. I will be joining a local club which has a loaner lathe. So I am going to start with some basic tools. I was just at a demonstration that the club sponsored and demonstrator was kind enough to recommend two bowl gouges and a spindle gouge. He was recommending Glaser Tools. I check the price and got sticker shock. My question is are these tools worth the price says compared to Sorby or Woodriver. I am looking at a mid-price lathe in the $3000 range [Jet 1840 or Laguna 1836].
