Accusize Industrial Tools 1/2 x 1/2 x 4 in. (Width by Height by Oal) Hss+5% M35 Cobalt Lathe Tool Bit, 5095-0032

The product was exactly as described and good quality.

I use this for shaving my saxophone reeds. For this, it is awesome! Works just as good as the ReedGeek at a fraction of the cost. It is an effortless way to fine tune your reeds for the best sound. I highly recommend this product!

This is what I use to 'file' my natural Saxophone reeds with - for Consistentcy!(yeah, it's a thing).It has small burs on each edge. That edge, when used lightly, shaves the reed.The reed's edges should be tapered to a consistent wings shape while the center 'v' shape is thicker.There is a quality commercial steel tool available for this that has specific edges to use and there is another small file that comes with a textured piece of glass for filling the backs flat.But for me, this piece of stainless steel is cost effective, works well and will last for ever.It's normally used with a CNC machine, but it works for filing Sax reeds too!That makes it perfect for this task!

I Purchased this 1/2 x 1/2 x 6 HSS with cobalt as it was the go to when making a carbide tool would be more time consuming or costly. I hand ground the tool until I had a 40 degree angle point as I have been doing for 40+ years, then finished with a diamond hone. Once in place, it cut a Poly-V groove into the 5" dia. 6061 T6 alum like butter- Keep the cutting oil flowing too! Choosing the 6 inch tool bit insured it would be held more securely in the tool post holder. 5 stars.

Fast shipping. great product, cobalt additive improves the cutting edge wear time.

Ok
