Review: made in India, which is infinitely better than china stuff. - Good tool Review: I have had better cutting carbides than these - I have had better cutting carbides than these. They work but are very sensitive to position to make them cut well. I compared them to a set I got last year for quarter inch tools and they are not as good. I will touching them up with a green stone grinder but have not done that yet. ## Features - 8MM (5/16") - 5 PIECES INDEXABLE CARBIDE TIPPED LATHE TOOL SET - Shank size: 8x8mm - BOXED PACKED SET WITH 10 INSERTS AND 1 TORX KEY - New & Box Packed ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | OMEX | | Part Number | OMEX-8MM | | Item Weight | 12.2 ounces | | Package Dimensions | 6.18 x 4.69 x 1.26 inches | | Item model number | OMEX-8MM | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Material | Steel | | Horsepower | 1 hp | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Images ![OMEX MINI INDEXABLE CARBIDE TIPPED LATHE TOOL SET 8MM (5/16") - 5 PIECES - 10 INSERTS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vRTUbwOFL.jpg) ![OMEX MINI INDEXABLE CARBIDE TIPPED LATHE TOOL SET 8MM (5/16") - 5 PIECES - 10 INSERTS - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41KkwHRbTaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What size inserts does this set use?** A: No clue how the inserts are measured. I just have those I purchased with the kit. **Q: do these tool holders come with (5) attached inserts & (10) inserts in a separate box ??? also are these meant to be used in very old style tool holde** A: Comes With total 10 inserts in a seprate box. not for old style holders **Q: these are for metal working right ??? didn't know if the low quality justified them to be used in metal cutting ?? any feedback from other people who** A: They are good for turning metal and do a reasonable job when set with a slight positive rake. They will break if overloaded or if the rake is not positive enough to have a good cutting edge on the work. I have turned relatively hard materials with them including stainless steel and cast iron. They don't work as well on soft metals in my opinion. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ made in India, which is infinitely better than china stuff. *by J***L on February 12, 2022* Good tool ### ⭐⭐⭐ I have had better cutting carbides than these *by T***N on May 8, 2018* I have had better cutting carbides than these.
