11pcs Welding Turning Tool Set for Home Micro Lathe Carbide YT5 YT15

This 11-piece welding turning tool set provides the essential cutting tools needed for home micro lathe operations. Whether you are shaping small metal parts or performing turning and facing tasks, these tools offer carbide alloy blades with angles of 45° and 90° to handle common lathe procedures. The set is available in either an 8mm or 10mm aluminium box for organised storage, making it easy to keep your workspace tidy and your tools accessible. Designed for light-duty use on a hobby or benchtop lathe, this kit is a straightforward option for anyone needing a range of turning tools in a single purchase.

Features and Construction

The turning tools in this set are built with a focus on practical function for micro lathe applications. Material choices and design details are selected to support consistent cutting performance during manual machining.

Material and Build

The blade of each tool is made from carbide alloy materials YT5 and YT15, which are commonly used for cutting steel and other metals on a lathe. The tool body is constructed from 45# steel, providing a solid basis for clamping in the tool post. This combination of materials gives the set a reliable build suitable for home workshop tasks.

Size and Practical Fit

The turning tools are supplied in two style options: one set housed in an 8mm aluminium box and another set in a 10mm aluminium box. The box size determines the overall dimensions of the organised kit, allowing you to choose the version that best fits your storage area or preference. The tools themselves are designed to work with standard micro lathe tool posts.

Uses and Placement

This turning tool set is intended for manual metalworking on a small lathe, making it appropriate for hobbyists, model makers, and small repair tasks. The included angle options support basic turning operations.

Event or Professional Use

In a professional workshop that includes a micro lathe, these tools can be used for quick changeovers between different cutting angles without needing to regrind a single tool. The set is practical for light production runs or prototype work where a range of tool geometries is beneficial.

Everyday Home Use

For home use, the set is ideal for common lathe tasks such as turning down shafts, cutting grooves, or squaring faces on small metal parts. Having both 45° and 90° tools means you can switch between roughing and finishing passes without changing setup.

Benefits and Buying Value

Buying a complete set of turning tools in one box saves you from sourcing individual tools separately. The included storage box helps keep the tools protected and organised.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Carbide blades are known for retaining their cutting edge over repeated use on soft metals. After use, simply store the tools back in the aluminium box to keep them clean and ready for the next project. No special maintenance is required beyond normal cleaning with a cloth.

Why Choose This Product

This 11-piece set gives you multiple turning angles in one package, directly matching the needs of a home micro lathe user. The choice between 8mm and 10mm box sizes lets you select the format that suits your workspace, while the carbide YT5/YT15 blades offer a practical cutting material for light machining work.
