Carbide-Tipped External Threading Lathe Tools
The carbide tip brazed onto the ground steel shanks of these tools is more wear resistant than high-speed steel. Right-handed tools cut from right to left, left-handed tools cut from left to right, and neutral tools can cut in either direction.
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.

Diamond-Tipped External Threading Lathe Tools
When cutting threads in nonferrous and nonmetallic materials, such as aluminum, copper, fiberglass, and plastic, diamond tips provide superior cutting performance. A neutral cut direction means these tools can cut from both right to left and left to right.

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.

Economy Indexable Turning Tool Sets
These tools come with carbide inserts installed. When one edge of the insert dulls, rotate it to use a sharp edge. When all edges dull, replace the insert rather than the whole tool. 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.
