Tools came rusty, holders are not polished. Tooling marks are still there. The 5/8 are jammed into the 1/2 case and nothing fits well. They cut just fine though so if you don_ care about cosmetics then they work well.
Nice set of lathe tools especially for the price,and come in a small case. They work great in a speed lathe and can be used everyday. Every tool comes with an insert to get started but you must buy more inserts
Exactly what it says on the tin. They perform well but they are more for the hobbyist. Using on fairly soft aluminium I had to touch up the tip on a fine diamond lap to get a perfect cut
