I'm new to turning and am considering these tools. Are the carbide cutters a standard size? Or do different brands use their own proprietary cutters?

Hard to say. Some are unique to the original tool and others are generic and at a lower price. I found some on e-bay.

They can be replaced with standard, but you won't need to change very often unless you plan on turning 8 - 10hrs a day 7 days a week. Just kidding. I'm still useing the originals after about 7mo. and all you need to do when dull is rotate to a new edge. Big Guy Productions (Captain Eddie) on UTube has replacements for about half price of Harrison. Hope that helps and good turning. It's addictive!

Each brand uses their own cutter design. This particular set is my main workhorse. I use them constantly. I also use the Rockler carbide set for finish work.

These tools are amazing! Beginner or pro. Best lathe tools to have. Cheaper is not better.

Sorry. I do not speak English well. I believe the carbide cutters are made as the tools that are intended. Each manufacturer uses the cutters as your own design. (google translator)

These tools use proprietary inserts--at least I have not found them elsewhere. Not sure about other tools.

26 cutters. HSS is stock, 4 sided carbide is available from Amana Tool in packages of 10, so you will need 3 sets of aftermarket cutters to refit your planer. The same cutters fit Steel City's helical head jointer. I bought a full set of replacement carbide cutters for both my planer and jointer, but the factory cutters are still in good shape so I have not bothered to install them yet.

No, or at least I did not. You will be able to use them in any drill or drill press. My only problem is that it was difficult to tighten the chuck enough to prevent them from spinning when the going got difficult. A hex end more like regular bits would prevent that. But, the bottom line is I have always gotten the job done with them.

The actual diameter of each cutter varies a bit depending on the shape. However, the most "round" of the shapes is a little over 1" in diameter.

Yes, it is standard size pins. I have used it with other hole saws. I bought a Bosch as well as the DeWalt. Cutting teeth on the Bosch wore to numbs, the DeWalt, kept cutting. Plus, I feel I got smoother, even cuts with the DeWalt. Even new, rather than cutting , the Bosch wore its way through the material ( cold rolled 1/4' steel plate ).

I think you can use the Jet 1642EVS for your current and future needs. The right chucks will help with size piece. I have been using the Easy carbide tools and find them very easy to use.

You need to use Delta mortise/drill sets. Off brands won't fit. I had this for a few years and sold it along with all the chisels because of many problems, chisel size being one. I sold it and went to General International. Much better tool, fewer problems and more features, like a tilting head. Highly recommended by Fine Woodworking magazine. Delta used to be good but then they got bought out. The other problem this creates is that you can no longer find factory service people in the States (at least in the Midwest). I have a Delta planer, joiner, and Unisaw. I like them but can't get service. Even letters to the company president were never answered. Go with General. You will be happier. Capn John

I don't have a mill so I simply used a 4.5" angle grinder with a 1/16" cut off wheel to make that over sized T nut fit my lathe. Now everything works as it should and I love this quick change tool post. Cutting the T nut that comes with the tool post is not difficult. Not being a machinist by trade I didn't panic over precision cutting. If it is flat on one surface and will fit the slot use it. It's only a piece of metal with one threaded hole that's too big to fit a T slot. Cut to fit. It's worth it. I hope you enjoy it.

I believe so. Power is pretty good, so a carbide blade should be fine.The T-shank should be a versatile product and fit fine.

Only bits of the exact same shape & size will fit. The handle doesn't adjust to grab the bits, they just slide in & very lightly snap in place. No idea if the bit base size is standard or not.

I recommend the 4 die. And Always get the carbide sizing die set. You won't regret it.

Actually I'm not certain if the cutter is carbide. But in all actuality I personally don't think that it matters much because you're only trimming thin brass which offers absolutely no resistance when being trimmed

No, these are too big for a dremel tool... they're made to be used with a regular drill

Hi Frank,They do not accept regular drill bits. There are bits available that can fit but have to have a special 1/4 inch "shank".I purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling, and can be purchased on Amazon separately or in a kit (Bosch-CC2130) called "clic change". It also comes with a few bits.Hope this helps

The drill bits are not marked for diameter size in any way. Not is the diameter sizes marked on the packaging. I just go by a visual for size needed.

Yes, most all of these tools have the same way to hold the blades with some type of friction. Some use a lever, some use a nut that is tightened with a wrench. I used these on a Genesis with no problem ,and I have others that all look different, but work the same. You would see bad feedback if anyone bought them and found they didn't fit their machine. That's because they fit. Any company that purposely makes a machine that will only use their blade, is doomed to be a failure, so for that reason, they are all different, yet they are all the same.

The tool only comes with metric sized mandrels. I believe I saw standard sized mandrels for this tool available for sale on a website, but I can't remember what the site was. Sorry. Here's a link to the manufacturer's product page - http://www.astrotools.com/index.php/hand-tools/hand-rivet-nut-kit-m5-m6-m8-m10-m12-kit.html.
