Review on HHIP 1030 0626 BBL10 Indexable Boring by Mike Wallace

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not at all like the picture (1030-0502 BBN8)

I snagged this on sale for under $9 so I decided to take a chance and buy what looked like a really weird looking boring bar that has the same TCMT inserts as the cheap ones 5.0 kits lathes can use. No, I have a real boring bar that uses TP high-rake inserts. I'd say it's probably worth the regular price as it seems to be 'we'd use it ourselves' in the Chinese high-end class. Definitely not junk! As you can see from the photos what arrived was printed with the code S08R-STFPR2. With that in mind I'm not sure how well they are labeled as I don't fully understand all the codes yet.

Pros
  • insert TP..-32. use; pitch angle +5; M4x10 screw
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
