This is a set of eight high-speed steel lathe tools sized for small benchtop and mini lathes. It covers the basic turning jobs: right- and left-hand offset tools, two threading tools, a parting tool and a boring tool, most with chip breakers. HSS holds a sharp edge and resists wear better than carbon steel, so it suits hobby machinists cutting aluminum, brass and mild steel. Against brazed carbide sets it is cheaper to sharpen and more forgiving on light lathes, but it dulls faster on hard or interrupted cuts.

Owners of mini lathes treat this as a practical starter set that covers the common operations. They like the sharp edges and the chip breakers, and note that HSS needs frequent honing on tougher steel.
This 8-piece mini tool set is made for lathe operations. The tools are precision-ground from heat-treated high-speed steel (HSS) and are used for turning, threading, boring and parting.
The set includes offset right- and left-hand tools, threading tools and parting tools. Chip breaker designs help cutting efficiency and chip removal. The compact sizes suit small-scale machining.
The set comes in two sizes. Model H5870 tools measure 1/4" x 1/4" x 2-1/2", and model H5871 tools measure 5/16" x 5/16" x 3-1/8".
