Sherline 1/4 inch Brazed Carbide Tool Set 3006

Sherline 1/4 inch Brazed Carbide Tool Set 30061/4 inch Brazed Carbide Tool Set 3006Carbide tools have a small piece of tough carbide brazed to the tip of a softer steel shank. These tools are recommended for cutting hard or abrasive materials on lathes and mills. Carbide tools can retain their hardness at temperatures up to approximately 1700°. This permits a higher cutting speed and faster feed rates.They are typically harder to sharpen than their HSS counterparts. A silicon carbide or diamond grinding wheel must be used. The shape of carbide tools is also more critical than the shape of high-speed steel cutters, but their cutting ability on tough or abrasive materials makes them very popular. If you are cutting a material that quickly dulls your HSS cutters, you will find carbide tools might be just what you need.This 3-piece set includes a right-hand tool (P/N 11920), a left-hand tool (P/N 11930), and a 60° threading tool (P/N 11940) for use with lathes and mills. For milling and machining.NOTE: A tool is named by the direction from which the chip leaves the tool; so a right-hand tool has its cutting edge on the left and the chip peels off to the right.Other tool sets available from Sherline:P/N 3007, 1/4" HSS 3-piece tool set (RH, LH, Boring tool)P/N 2258, 3/8" Inserted Tip Carbide Tool Holders (RH, LH)SpecificationsSize: 1/4?Tool Nr: AR4Grade: C5Cutting Direction: Right Hand, Left HandOverall Length: 2?Style: ARTool Material: Carbide TippedType: Carbide Tipped Tool BitThreading Tool: 60°Size: 1/4"Tool NR: E4Grade: C5Cutting Direction: Threading Tool 60° Included AngleOverall Length: 2?Included Angle: 60° Included AngleStyle: ETool Material: Carbide TippedType: Carbide Tipped Tool Bit
