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.

Good quality turning tools and cut well.
