Each tool has a steel shank body with a brazed carbide tip — harder and longer-lasting than HSS for cutting steel, aluminum, and brass on a mini or bench lathe. The set covers the most-used turning profiles: straight turning, facing, grooving, threading, and boring. Choose from three shank sizes (8 mm \/ 5\/16\", 10 mm \/ 3\/8\", or 12 mm \/ 1\/2\") to match your tool post and quick-change holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 mm (5\/16\")\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits tool posts with 5\/16\" bore; suited for 7x10 through 7x14 mini lathes and compact bench lathes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 mm (3\/8\")\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits 3\/8\" bore holders; common on mid-range mini lathes and 4-way tool posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12 mm (1\/2\")\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits 1\/2\" bore holders; designed for larger bench lathes and heavy-duty quick-change tool posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9-piece comprehensive coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — includes straight right-hand turning, straight left-hand turning, facing, profiling, grooving, parting, threading (60°), boring bar, and bent tool profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrazed carbide tips\u003c\/strong\u003e — C6-grade cemented carbide tips withstand higher cutting speeds and temperatures than HSS; resharpenable on a green-wheel grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree shank sizes in one listing\u003c\/strong\u003e — 8 mm \/ 5\/16\", 10 mm \/ 3\/8\", and 12 mm \/ 1\/2\" to fit most mini and bench lathe tool posts without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround steel shank bodies\u003c\/strong\u003e — shanks are ground square for consistent seating in tool post slots; no rocking or shimming required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarked tool holder style\u003c\/strong\u003e — each shank is etched with its profile code so you can grab the right tool quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips as a matched set\u003c\/strong\u003e — all 9 tools arrive together with no partial shipments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet count: 9 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank size options: 8 mm (5\/16\"), 10 mm (3\/8\"), 12 mm (1\/2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip material: C6 brazed carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank material: hardened tool steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfiles included: right-hand turning, left-hand turning, facing, profiling, grooving, parting, 60° threading, boring bar, bent-nose turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight unit: grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8 mm (5\/16\") shank size fits the tool posts on most 7-inch mini lathes.

Carbide-tipped tools have a harder C6 carbide insert brazed onto a steel shank. Carbide runs at higher cutting speeds, holds an edge longer in steel and aluminum, and resists heat better. HSS is easier to reshape on a bench grinder and is preferred for wood. For metal mini lathe work, carbide tips cut cleaner and require sharpening less often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Which shank size should I order for my mini lathe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Most 7x10 and 7x12 mini lathes (Harbor Freight, Sieg C2\/SC2, Grizzly G8688) use a 4-way tool post with a 5\/16\" (8 mm) bore. Grizzly G0602 and similar mid-range bench lathes typically take 3\/8\" (10 mm) or 1\/2\" (12 mm). Measure your tool post slot width or check your lathe manual before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do these tools fit a quick-change tool post (QCTP)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, as long as the QCTP holder bore matches the shank size you order. A QCTP for a mini lathe often takes 3\/8\" shanks. Verify your QCTP holder bore size; Aloris-style and Dorian-style holders for 7-inch lathes typically accept 3\/8\" or 1\/2\" shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I regrind the carbide tips when they wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Use a green silicon carbide grinding wheel (80-120 grit) to regrind the cutting face. Do not use a standard aluminum oxide wheel — it will glaze over the carbide. Relief angle of 7-10° and a positive rake of 5-8° is typical for general turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these suitable for threading operations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The set includes one 60° threading tool for cutting standard V-threads in steel. For metric or ACME threads, you would need a dedicated threading insert or a different included tool profile ground to the required angle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Autobox","offers":[{"title":"8mm (5\/16\")","offer_id":46727466451081,"sku":"ZHCD-8","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mm (3\/8\")","offer_id":46727466483849,"sku":"ZHCD-10","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12mm (1\/2\")","offer_id":46727466516617,"sku":"ZHCD-12","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/4923\/5593\/files\/lathe_tool_set.png?v=1777948530","url":"https:\/\/autoboxtoolworks.com\/products\/9pc-carbide-tip-lathe-tool-set","provider":"AutoBoxToolWorks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
