11-Piece Carbide Lathe Turning Tool Set for Home Micro Lathe Work

This 11-piece turning tool set is a practical collection of brazed lathe tools for home machinists, model engineers, and anyone running a micro lathe. The set includes tools with 45° and 90° turning tool angles, giving you geometry for facing, turning, and general shaping operations. Each tool uses a carbide tip brazed onto a 45# steel body, and the carbide is available in YT5 and YT15 grades. The set is supplied in an aluminium box, and you can choose either an 8mm or 10mm shank set to match your lathe tool holder. The 11-piece format means you have a range of tools on hand for different cuts without buying individual pieces.

Features and Construction

The set is built around brazed carbide tips on steel bodies. The angle options and two shank sizes make it a flexible choice for small lathes and light workshop tasks.

Carbide Tips and Steel Bodies

Each turning tool has a carbide tip, with YT5 and YT15 grades stated, brazed onto a 45# steel body. The carbide forms the cutting edge, while the 45# steel body provides the shank that sits in the tool holder. This construction is common for brazed lathe tools used on metal workpieces. The set includes both YT5 and YT15 tip options, so you can work with the grade supplied for your chosen set.

Tool Angles and Shank Sizes

The turning tool angles include 45° and 90°, covering typical facing and turning geometry. The shank is available in 8mm and 10mm sizes, allowing you to select the set that fits your lathe tool holder. The 11-piece quantity gives you a useful spread of tools for different operations. Both shank sizes come in an aluminium box for storage between jobs.

Uses and Placement

This set is aimed at micro lathe work and home machining. The compact tool sizes and brazed tips suit light cuts on metal, model engineering, and general DIY turning.

Home Micro Lathe Use

The 8mm and 10mm shanks are intended for small lathes and micro lathe setups where tool holder capacity is limited. The 45° and 90° angles let you switch between facing and turning tasks using the same set. The 11-piece format means you can keep several tools ready without changing inserts. This is practical for hobby machining and small workshop projects where a brazed tool set is preferred.

DIY Machining and Model Work

Model engineers and DIY machinists can use the set for shaping metal parts on a lathe. The carbide tips and 45# steel bodies are suited to light machining operations, and the two shank sizes cover different lathe tool post requirements. The aluminium box keeps the 11 pieces together when not in use. The set is supplied as a single 11-piece pack, so you receive one full set per order.

Benefits and Buying Value

The main value of this set is having 11 brazed turning tools in one box, with a choice of shank size and both YT5 and YT15 carbide grades. It reduces the need to buy tools individually.

Reuse and Storage

Brazed carbide tools are resharpened rather than replaced as inserts, which can extend their working life in a home workshop. The aluminium box provides a dedicated place to store the 11 pieces, helping keep the tips protected between jobs. The 45# steel bodies and carbide tips are the stated materials, and the set is supplied as one 11-piece pack. Minimal care is needed: keep the tools dry and store them in the box.

Why Choose This Turning Tool Set

If you run a micro lathe and need a compact set of brazed tools, this 11-piece set covers 45° and 90° angles with 8mm or 10mm shanks. The YT5 and YT15 carbide tips on 45# steel bodies match common small-lathe requirements. The aluminium box keeps the set organised. Choose the 8mm or 10mm option based on your tool holder, and you have a practical set for facing, turning, and general lathe work.
