Robert Sorby 52HS five-piece compact turning set
Compact HSS set
When to choose it
Choose the 52HS when a short grip makes sense for a small lathe and your first projects are mostly spindles. The 14-inch tools offer a more compact assortment than the 67HS set reviewed here.
Read the five profiles before assuming it covers the same tasks as the six-piece kit. If you also want a dedicated bowl gouge, compare the 67HS, which includes one separately from its two spindle gouges.
