William ★★★★★

Took a chance on these for a small lathe job and the T-15 HSS really holds an edge longer than the carbide I'd been burning through. The 35° diamond shape with that 7° relief makes for surprisingly clean cuts on a light finishing pass. Only wish the center hole was slightly bigger, but it's seated f

Michael T. ★★★★★

Been using this 35° diamond insert for small profiling work and the 7° relief makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly it clears chips. It's holding up well on steel so far, and the convenience of just swapping inserts instead of resharpening a full HSS tool is a nice bonus.

The T-15 high speed steel holds an edge noticeably longer than the carbide inserts I've tried for aluminum. Cuts cleanly on my little lathe without any chipping so far.
