16mm(5/8 inch) Round Carbide Inserts for Woodturning, R16x3mm Indexable Carbide Cutter fits for DIY Woodworking Lathe Wood Turning Finisher Hollower Tools, Ci0, 10 Pcs

Good carbide tips

I'm a wood turner and primarily make pens. I enjoy working with wood and acrylics. Acrylic is super dense and I use carbide tipped bits because they keep an edge a lot longer. I keep a few extra of these bits around the shop so I can easily switch them out. When it's time, I sharpen them using a diamond stone & honing fluid. I originally ordered these for my finisher tool, however I discovered that used a Ci3, not a Ci0 bit. Basically I ordered these by mistake (my mistake). I took a closer look and noticed that they were a tad heavier so I threw one in the tool and hogged down not one but a few acrylic blanks for pens. These are like honey badger, it doesn't care. They do the job and do it well! If you run a very light pass across the work, it's very smooth and less work for sanding. Very very happy with these bits.

Better quality and sharpness - used this on my standard chisel - 1/2 inch a little large but screw holds it .Lasts longer.

I use these for rough-turning very dry hardwoods, which usually dulls inserts pretty quick. Buy these are holding up well!

These round carbide are very sharp. The packaging is makes it easy for dispensing the inserts.
