Turning Tool: FAQ

How do I ensure the shank size fits my lathe?

Measure your tool post height in millimeters before ordering. AliExpress sellers provide detailed shank dimensions like 10mm, 12mm, or 16mm, which are critical for maintaining center height alignment.

How can I verify the carbide grade for metalwork?

Look for specific ISO codes like P, M, or K in the product description. High-quality inserts usually specify the coating type, such as TiAlN or CVD, which indicates superior heat resistance and longevity.

What indicates a long-lasting turning tool body?

Check for hardened steel bodies and high-grade carbide inserts with thick coatings. A heavy, vibration-resistant shank is a primary indicator of a tool that can handle high-speed machining without deflection.

Are turning tools protected during international shipping?

Most reputable sellers use dedicated plastic storage cases for each tool or set to prevent edge chipping. Always verify that the item includes a protective case in the listing photos to ensure safe arrival.

Recommendations for buyers

  • Material Compatibility
    Match the insert grade (P for steel, K for cast iron, N for aluminum) to your specific workpiece to maximize tool life and surface finish.
  • Indexable vs. Brazed
    Choose indexable tools for modern versatility. They allow you to swap carbide inserts quickly when dull, maintaining consistent setup geometry.
  • Coating Technology
    Prioritize TiAlN or AlTiN coatings for high-temperature operations as they provide an extra layer of protection against abrasive wear.
  • Shank Rigidity
    Opt for the largest shank size your tool holder can accommodate to minimize vibration, which is essential for achieving high-precision tolerances.
