Carbide-Tipped Turning Lathe Tool Sets


D	E	BL	BR

AL	AR	C

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.

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.

Micrograin Carbide—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.

Keep a variety of tools on hand to cut and shape workpieces. The tools in these sets come with carbide inserts installed. When one edge of the insert dulls, rotate to a fresh one. When all the edges are dull, you can replace the insert rather than the entire 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. All sets come with uncoated C5 inserts.

A Tool Bit—Styles AR and AL help you create a sharp 90° square shoulder.

B Tool Bit—Styles BR and BL are used for roughing, interrupted cuts, and cuts where a square shoulder is not required.

E Tool Bit—Style E are for external threading.

V Tool Bit—Style V fit into tighter areas than Style A and B. They also create cleaner edges and a finer surface finish.

Small-Diameter Boring Lathe Tool Sets

This set contains some of the smallest boring tools we offer. Use them to enlarge existing holes to precise diameters. Made entirely of micrograin carbide, which outperforms C2 and C6 carbide when cutting difficult-to-machine metal, such as stainless steel or titanium. It provides a good finish on most materials. Tools have flats on the shank for quick alignment.

Long-Reach Boring Lathe Tool Sets


Right-Hand Cutting Direction	Left-Hand Cutting Direction


Right-Hand Cutting Direction	Left-Hand Cutting Direction

The long steel shank on these tools can reach farther inside the workpiece than standard boring tools and can be cut to length depending on the depth of the hole. Use them to enlarge existing holes to precise diameters.

Tips are micrograin carbide, which 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.

Right-Hand Cutting Direction—Right-hand tools are for boring when the workpiece is rotating counterclockwise (toward the lathe operator).

Left-Hand Cutting Direction—Left-hand tools are for boring when the workpiece is rotating clockwise (away from the lathe operator).

Economy Indexable Boring Carbide Insert Holder Sets


4-Piece Set	8-Piece Set

These tools come with an insert 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. Inserts are C5 carbide for general purpose machining.

Interchangeable Point Lathe Center Sets

Keep a variety of lathe center points on hand so you always have the right tool for the job. These sets include at least four different points, as well as a lathe center body and a point extractor. Use the point extractor to remove a point from the body and swap in another. You can replace bodies, points, and extractors individually if they become worn or damaged.

Standard points provide tool clearance for CNC applications, making it easier to machine complex shapes and features.

Bull-nose points have a wide head for holding hollow workpieces with large diameters. They’re often used with pipes and tubes.

Dead Lathe Center

Carbide-tipped points are more wear resistant than hardened steel points. They're a good choice for high-volume operations and for holding hard or highly abrasive materials.

Use dead centers in your headstock to support a workpiece when machining between centers. When friction isn’t a concern, you can also use them in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece. Dead centers don’t spin freely, so they provide a fixed point that stabilizes your workpiece. They can handle heavier loads than live centers. However, under high pressure, they can become lodged in the tailstock. To remove them without damaging your equipment, tighten a hex nut (sold separately) onto the threaded end. Use a wrench to turn the nut against the tailstock and push the center out.

Extended-tip points are shaped to provide more tool clearance than standard points without adding much length. They’re also used for machining complex shapes and features.

Half points are cut away on one side to hold shafts with keyways, flats, or irregular shapes. They’re used only in dead centers.

Total Indicated Runout (TIR) Accuracy—TIR (total indicated runout) is a measure of rotational smoothness. The lower the value, the less wobble a rotating tool will have and the more accurate it will be.

Live Lathe Center

Flat knurled points sit flush against workpieces for a tight grip. Their knurls create friction that keeps your workpiece from slipping.

Live centers sit in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece. They spin with the workpiece to reduce friction between the tip and the material. For smooth rotation, these centers turn on lubricated bearings. The bearings are sealed to protect against chips and liquid, which extends the life of the tool.

Precision, Live Lathe Center

Image of Product. Front orientation. Lathe Centers. Interchangeable Point Lathe Center Sets, Live Lathe Center, Precision.

Cup points are designed to grip the outer diameter of a workpiece—instead of a tip, they have a cup-shaped recess. They’re also known as female points.

Precision live centers wobble less than standard live centers for three to five times greater accuracy as they spin.

Extended-tip points are shaped to provide more tool clearance than standard points without adding much length. They’re also used for machining complex shapes and features.
