Accusize Industrial Tools1/2 x 1/2 x 4 in. (Width by Height by Oal) Hss+5% M35 Cobalt Lathe Tool Bit, 5095-0032

Just ground one of these into a RH tool and turned the rusty crust off of a 1.5" diameter mystery-metal steel shaft. Edge held up well. Grinds and hones well. Seems to be high quality, at least for a hobbiest.

Fast shipping. great product, cobalt additive improves the cutting edge wear time.

I’ve been using these for years and I like the idea of being able to resharpen them over and over. In some cases they work better than carbide inserts.

The media could not be loaded. I Purchased this 1/2 x 1/2 x 6 HSS with cobalt as it was the go to when making a carbide tool would be more time consuming or costly. I hand ground the tool until I had a 40 degree angle point as I have been doing for 40+ years, then finished with a diamond hone. Once in place, it cut a Poly-V groove into the 5" dia. 6061 T6 alum like butter- Keep the cutting oil flowing too! Choosing the 6 inch tool bit insured it would be held more securely in the tool post holder. 5 stars.

Only gave 4 stars because these chip easier than the Cr08 cutters

Made in China

Good price 8" long

i bought these tool steel inserts for my antique lathe, which requires this size tool
