Carbide-Tipped Turning Lathe Tool Sets
Constructed of a carbide tip brazed onto a ground steel shank, these tools are more wear resistant than high-speed steel tools. Right-handed tools cut from right to left, left-handed tools cut from left to right, and neutral tools can cut in either direction.
Style AR and AL tools perform along the length turning, facing, boring, and chamfering. They allow for a sharp 90° square shoulder.
Style BR and BL tools perform along the length turning, facing, boring, and chamfering. They are suitable for roughing cuts, interrupted cuts, and cuts where a square shoulder is not required.
Style C tools perform along the length turning, facing, chamfering, and external grooving.
Style D tools perform along the length turning, facing, boring, chamfering, external grooving, and undercutting.
Style E tools are for external threading.
C2 carbide tips are abrasion resistant and less likely to chip or crack than C6 carbide when cutting aluminum, brass, and bronze. C6 carbide tips hold up better than C2 carbide when making cuts in steel. Micrograin carbide tips outperform C2 and C6 tips when cutting metal that’s difficult to machine, such as stainless steel or titanium. They leave a good finish on most materials.

Carbide-Tipped Turning Lathe Tools
Constructed of a carbide tip brazed onto a ground steel shank, these tools are more wear resistant than high-speed steel tools. Right-handed tools cut from right to left, left-handed tools cut from left to right, and neutral tools can cut in either direction.
Style C tools have a square nose for general purpose machining and can also be used to plunge straight into the workpiece like a grooving tool.
C2 carbide tips are abrasion resistant and less likely to chip or crack than C6 carbide when cutting aluminum, brass, and bronze.
C6 carbide tips hold up better than C2 carbide when making cuts in steel.
Micrograin carbide tips outperform C2 and C6 carbide tips when cutting difficult-to-machine metal, such as stainless steel or titanium. They provide a good finish on most materials.
