Lot 591: A Set of Carbide-Tipped Lathe Turning Tools in Fitted Wooden Case
A set of brazed carbide-tipped turning tools designed for use with a metalworking lathe. The collection comprises various tool profiles suitable for a range of machining operations, including roughing, finishing, facing, boring, and threading. Each tool features a square-section steel shank with a blue-painted finish and a carbide cutting tip brazed to the head. Small stamped characters are present on the shanks of several tools, likely indicating shank dimensions or carbide grades such as C6 or P30, though no specific manufacturer’s mark is visible. The set is presented in its original fitted wooden storage case, which contains a grey foam lining and is secured with a brass-effect flip-latch.
Condition report:
The tools appear to be in good, lightly used condition. The carbide cutting edges show minimal signs of wear and remain sharp. The blue finish on the shanks exhibits minor scuffing and paint loss consistent with intermittent use and storage. The wooden case and foam insert are well-preserved, showing only minor surface marks to the exterior.
