I have purchased several types of carbide turning tools for my mini lathe and these smaller ones seem to work the best. The problem you face when turning longer metal on a mini lathe with specialty carbide tools is vibration and a lack of detail. I've personally experimented with different lengths on my Wen lathe and these tools have worked the best so far. Longer tools will work, but you have to be very careful with small pieces of wood as they will tear and vibrate. I really recommend this if you are using a mini lathe.
