I am about to buy a new set of lathe tools, and was wanting to know if the
2060 grade steel is really worth the extra money. I read claims of greatly increasing the time between sharpening. Does the steel have any advantages beyond just holding an edge longer?I have been looking at the Packard tools from Packard Woodworks. This looks like a private labeled brand. I have also looked at Hamlet Tools from Craft Supplies USA.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
