Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are these HSS rectangular tool bits available in?
We stock common sizes such as 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" square cross-sections, all with a standard length of 4 inches. Custom sizes may be available upon request.
Can these tool bits be used on stainless steel and other marine alloys?
Yes, M2 high speed steel is suitable for machining most ferrous and non-ferrous metals used in marine applications, including stainless steel and marine-grade aluminum. However, proper cutting speeds and feed rates should be selected for optimal performance.
Are the tool bits supplied ready to use?
Yes, each tool bit is precision ground and sharpened at the factory. They can be used directly in a tool holder or lathe tool post. You may still customize the cutting geometry to suit your specific operation.
How should I store these tool bits onboard to prevent rust?
While the tool bits themselves are corrosion-resistant, we recommend keeping them in a dry environment and applying a light coat of anti-rust oil after each use. The packaging also provides basic protection.
