Good price on lathe knives, look like really good quality but haven’t used them yet. I contacted customer service to see if I could apply my 15% discount for first time customer as I accidentally placed order w/o it (I must have missed it in the ordering process). I never heard back.

Overall, I was well pleased with the ordering process. The only negative was that I had to scroll back a couple of pages each time that I ordered another item. This could have been user error.

Really nice pens and pencil kits, price is an issue for me because of the $AUD $US exchange rate which together with shipping cost puts a pencil kit (2.8 mm) to around the $Aud 25. This is not the fault of PennState of course

I am usually very satisfied with your product and service. However, I feel that the needed bushings should be more clearly listed. I failed to order required bushings for 3 kits. I have had to submit a special order and pay additional shipping cost. I was not able to present the items as gifts as planned. And, the bushings for the Yo Yo kit are not available.
