Tool Bit, 1/4″ Right Hand, Presharpened

Description

• 1/4″ Presharpened Tool Bit
• High Speed Steel
• Right Handed

This 1/4″ high speed steel pre-sharpened metal lathe cutting tool, is a tool used to shape and cut metal. It is made of high-speed steel, which is a type of tool steel that can maintain its strength and hardness at high temperatures and speeds. The tool has already been sharpened and is ready to use, saving time and effort in the machining process. The 1/4″ measurement refers to the diameter of the tool, while the “right hand” designation indicates that the tool is designed to be used in a right-handed orientation which is to say the tool moves toward the left while cutting. The analogy of “right hand” is as if you placed your right hand palm down on a surface and extended your thumb to the left. The cutting tool moves in the direction of the thumb putting the principal cutting edge on the left side.

This type of tool is commonly used in metalworking applications such as turning, drilling, and machining, and is suitable for use on a variety of metals including steel, aluminum, and brass.
