Review on Accusize Industrial Tools - Indexable Tool Holder 2988 0058 by Tom Goodlow

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality carbide bits and design WCMT

Quality carbide bits not included in this set. And be careful with the WCMT holder it contains. Here's why: bit holders are great on their own, but bits are made to low standards and require more torque from your cutting machine. Also, the design of the chip breaker is too small to properly cut metal curls. As a result, I got terrible curls that ruined the surface, regardless of feed and speed. Such curls are also difficult to clean. Another problem with inferior carbide bits is that they wear out quickly. In just one small mild steel project, the carbide tip wear was 1/32 inch. Simple solution: Buy replacement bits from more expensive brands. I have several Iscar bit sets and they work great. But the big problem comes when you need bits for the WCMT bit holder. It's hard to find quality WCMT bits. Are you stuck buying Accusize Carbide WCMT Bits and still using poor quality or paying significantly for better WCMT bits? WCMT bits only have three cutting edges (unless you use the middle three sides); Therefore, the price per leading edge is higher on them than bits from quality brands. Now I have to buy a proper trigon bit holder if I want to use quality bits. Better go with a WNMG bit and holder that gives you twice as many blades for the same price.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
