Accusize Industrial Tools 1/2'' 8 Pcs Hss Tool Bit Set, Pre-Ground for Turning and Facing Work, 2662-2004

So far these turning tools have been fantastic for my old lathe, they stay sharp for a long time and seem to handle everything from aluminum to mild steel just fine, thanks to them being pre-ground they're very easy to sharpen and hone when needed, the fit and finish on them is absolutely amazing.

I primarily got these hss bits because I liked the assortment provided and the fact that they came with a case to keep them organized. On inspection, they appear to be a decent quality for the price; they're sharp and the grind looks to be OK by my eyes.I tested them on some aluminum round and brass hex stock and the cuts were good quality and chip control was good too. I haven't done harder metal, but for the softer metals and plastics, I anticipate these will be fine.I don't really have any long term usage to report but preliminary impression is good; I don't know what the alloy composition is, so that could affect the edge life and how they perform in harder metal, but so far so good.

Works good, great grind on the angles, and useable from the start.

Comes in a nice case good looking tools. Seems well made and no problems.

WORKS FINE FOR MY APPLICATION

Really kind of hate paying for useless fancy packaging like these cutters coming in a fancy plastic and metal box when the first thing a user will do with them is take them out of the box and never use it again. Makes the product cost more, wastes resources and is totally useless. Wrap them in bubble wrap and stick them in a cardboard box. But the cutters are nice and sharp, so that's great.

These will be my go to set from now on. Super sharp and perfectly machined out of the box!

I only had to touch them up. That would have taken me a long time to grind these.
