Indexable Lathe Turning Tool 21Pcs Kit 3/8'' 10mm Shank 7Pcs Metal Lathe Tools Holder Set with 14Pcs Turning Inserts for Turning Grooving Threading Boring Carbide Inserts Carbide Turning Tool

I have a 1930's Atlas 9" and needed to cut a very long 25mm shaft down to 17mm. I was not sure my underpowered lathe would be able to handle carbide. I did get some chatter, actually a lot, due to the part length and expected the carbide to chip out or just not cut very well. To my surprise I was able to make .020 deep cuts per side, got a nice curly chip, and the insert stayed sharp throughout the entire job. I did try a hss bit just to compare results but these tools cut better. Great buy, nicely packaged, very durable, and accurate. The 3/8" size is also nice for smaller lathes. Highly recommended.

I recently purchased a new metal lathe that included a set of high speed turning bits. The HSS bits are okay for turning soft metals, plastics, wood, etc, but just don't hold up well for the steel that I often need them for. I ordered this set of carbide bits to use for turning steel and so far I'm really happy with them. They are very solid and well made. Each bit came with its own storage box and wrench for changing the carbide tips. There is an extra set of carbide tips included. These bits fit my lathe and work as they should. The quality seems good to me. I'm not a lathe expert but I have and do work with metal a lot. I make handmade knives, and judging from my metal working experience, these bits are really heavy and solid. The carbide of course cuts well and holds up for a long time if taken care of. Just be sure not to crowd them too much; give them time to cut without forcing and all should be well.

Im very satisfied with the tools and delivery! GOOD JOB!

Very affordable carbide metal lathe tools. As a hobbyist, I'm not a day in day out machinist but I can talk from my past experiences...as a retired shop teacher. My last machining work was high school 40 + years ago and one class in college over 30 years ago. Cutting tools at the time were high speed steel. Carbine cutters were on the horizon... My images show a chess set Rook finished as a keychain. The second image is of the new tool at work in the tool holder and the blue carbide tool that came with my mini lathe. The quality of cut is night and day, when comparing the two cutters. I found the ease of cutting to be much improved and very smooth. I am not impressed with the Tork (star) head screw driver bits that came with the tools. Either they have stripped out or the tiny screw that holds in the carbide cutter. I did have one cutter loosen up during my run today. That was easy to re-tighten the cutting bit. I will purchase a new Tork head screwdriver for future use. I'm happy with my purchase!

Good quality turning tools and cut well.

Nice Tools !

Really great for my 10" atlas lathe. I like them more than making my own hhs tools

Don’t be fooled by the photos. The photos make it look like you receive 7 tools with inserts installed plus 14 extra inserts. You actually receive 7 tools without inserts and 7 inserts to install yourself plus 7 extra ones. Excluding the deceptive presentation, the tools are made well.

Good product for small job

Great service, great product, will definitely buy from again and recommend to others.
