    Style A,

    Left Hand

    Style A tools cut a sharp 90° square shoulder.
    C2 Carbide—C2 carbide tips are abrasion resistant and less likely to chip or crack than C6 carbide when cutting aluminum, brass, and bronze.
    C6 Carbide—C6 carbide tips hold up better than C2 carbide when making cuts in steel.
    Micrograin Carbide—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.

    Lathe tool styles AR and AL perform along the length turning, facing, boring, and chamfering. They allow for a sharp 90° square shoulder. Lathe tool styles BR and BL 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. Lathe tool style C perform along the length turning, facing, chamfering, and external grooving. Lathe tool style D perform along the length turning, facing, boring, chamfering, external grooving, and undercutting. Lathe tool style E are for external threading.
    C2 Carbide—C2 carbide tips are abrasion resistant and less likely to chip or crack than C6 carbide when cutting aluminum, brass, and bronze.
    C6 Carbide—C6 carbide tips hold up better than C2 carbide when making cuts in steel.
