Hallamshire Tools

[Vince Welch]

Hello,

Recently Oneway manufacturing has come out with a line of tools they are marketing as "Hallamshire Tools
A Wide range of high quality HSS turning tools at an amazing price!" Has anyone used these tools? Oneway products seem to be top notch but I have not heard any feed back concerning these tools. Thanks in advance, Vince

I have used these tools and they seem to be of good quality.
Holds an edge as good as any other HSS tool.

PN tools

What about the PN tools now available from Craft Supplies? Any users out there yet?

I have used the bowl gouge from P&N. I bought a metal handle to hold the gouge. Now it is about the only gouge I use. Seems to wear about the same as anyother gouge. I like the weight of the metal handle and the gouge. Seems to dampen out some of the vibration. I even bought a spare gouge for when I wear out the first one I bought. You can about buy two P&N gouges for the price of one Sorby gouge.

I reviewed quite a large batch of the P&N tools for More Woodturning. A pdf of that review can be found here:

I've used the P&N bowl gouge and parting tools for a couple of years, and find them very good. The gouge is mounted in a steel handle and gives good control. The tool maintains an edge very well, but I still make the usual frequent trips to the wheel.
Comnparable in quality to other high-end tools.

Don't known about the new Oneway gouges and will check them out but do highly recommend the P & N for the price, durability and quality. I have all three P & N bowl gouges and the large skew. Fantastic tools. I buy from Lee Valley - better price that Craft Supplies as well a faster shipping. Lee Valley has recently expanded the range of tools they stock.
