I bought this set on sale for 50% less than the MSRP. It includes a boring bar which you won't find elsewhere at this price. I didn't expect much, but it turns out this is a pretty nice set.5 of the 9 tools use CCMT inserts. This is really nice because inserts typically come in 10 packs. I test fit a CCGT060204 insert and it fits perfectly. The included wrench fits the screws nicely and feels like it's not going to strip. You don't get a lot of torque with it, which is fine because carbide is brittle and will crack.I don't expect the inserts it comes with to be high quality. It doesn't come with any extras, so do yourself a favor and buy some CCMT or CCGT in 21.5 or 0602 (they're the same size, just Inches vs metric).The bars themselves seem to be made properly. They are chamfered everywhere and don't have any burrs or tool marks. These tools have the proper relief under the insert, it's not cut straight down.The only tool I wouldn't use is the cutoff tool. If you're buying this 3/8 set, chances are that it's for a mini lathe. They just aren't rigid enough to use these types of cutoff tools. Considering that you'll find every other set with this style cutoff tool breaks, I don't hold it against them.

Everything I have purchased from Accusize has been excellent quality and excellent value. This turning tool set is no different. I have been struggling at accurately turning mild steel on a Vevor mini lathe with HSS tools so I opted for this kit hoping that it would remedy my issues. It did; I wish I started with carbide bits. I am also using the Accusize quick change tool post. I would highly recommend this upgrade too.

The tooling looks nice, and it does a good job. I made a nice brass handle for our wood stove. The case is nice, but I would rather have some spare inserts for the tooling, and have it all come in a cardboard box.

Works beautifully. The difference between these and most standard tools are night and day. Quick delivery, exactly as it was supposed to be and they work great.

Very nice cutting tools. The geometry of the carbide blades are far superior than the triangular ones you find on less expensive cutting tools. The length of the shank is great too so you can secure the tool better. Gives a great finish!

I am really disappointed with the availability of insert replacement. I do not recommend this product

Decent quality tools at the price. The tool shanks are stout, the slots are great and the carbide fits perfectly. I really have liked all of the Accusize tools i've gotten. The quality has been great, the carbide good and overall fit and finish quite excellent. That said...I had good luck with the carbide and all turning and facing tools, but i've broken the parting/grooving tool in its second use. I was plunging into some 2" 6061 at medium pressure when the lower part of the tool that holds the carbide insert snapped off.Machine didn't blink and it took me a minute to figure out what the noise was because I didn't think whatsoever that it was the tool breaking. I wasn't even using much force... I mean, we're talking 6061.For parting, I think i'm going to stay with solid HSS or thick HSS with a brazed tip. You have to have an absolutely rigid setup for parting and my thought is the chip started to chatter and vibrate and quickly got loose and caused failure.I am really on the fence between a 4 and 5 star on this one. I like the tools, I like the price and like the overall product - getting your tools in boxes vs the dumb plastic sleeve is a very nice touch and fantastic for storage once you collect many tools. Im wondering if the grooving/parting tool was a fluke? Operator error? I mean, parting isn't my favorite thing to do, but I do believe I am going to put this breakage as a result of operator error. I'll buy a 1/2" set and see how that goes.Outsize of that, all of the other tools have been great. I don't like that you only get a single piece of carbide for each, but you have multiple tips on each chip which helps. I'd buy these again, thats for sure.

Well worth the money. I'm a 10 year machinist and have used a lot of inserted tooling on larger lathes. I bought this set for a small Hardinge. I've used all but the threading tool, and I was impressed with each. I've used mainly on A2, D2, and 4140.I haven't owned them very long, but I honestly haven't noticed a difference with these and higher end makers. Maybe time will tell, a lot of bang for the buck though.
