Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between right-hand and left-hand knife tool bits?
Right-hand knife tool bits are intended for feeding from right to left (toward the lathe headstock) and have the cutting edge on the left side. Left-hand tool bits feed from left to right, with the cutting edge on the right side. Select the correct hand based on your machining setup and feed direction.
Can these welded HSS tool bits be resharpened?
Yes, the high-speed steel tip can be reground using a grinding wheel. Regrinding restores the cutting edge and allows you to adjust the tool geometry for different materials or operations.
What materials can I cut with Model No. 13 tool bits?
These tool bits are suitable for machining carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. For hard or heat-resistant alloys, use appropriate cutting speeds and cooling/lubrication to preserve the HSS edge.
How do I identify IMPA 633006 tool bits?
IMPA 633006 is the International Marine Purchasing Association code for HSS tip welded tool bits, specifically the right-hand/left-hand knife tool type. It is widely used in ship chandler and marine supply catalogs to simplify ordering and stock management.
