Brazed Carbide tool
Brazed Carbide tool
I finally found a use for a brazed carbide lathe tool. It makes a good fly cutter for hard steel. I used this one on some 4140 PH stock at Rc 30 and then managed to use it a bit on some Rc50 material. Not very deep cuts but enough to face off what was needed.

I use them that way, too, earlgo. Same results approach and results. Shallow cuts but a nice finish, one that would, otherwise, be difficult to achieve. I'm a big fan of fly cutters.
Beyond fly cutting, I commonly use brazed carbide for lathe work (I also use carbide inserts and HSS depends on what I'm doing and what works best for the task at hand). I have a (wet) diamond wheel, so keeping a keen edge on the brazed carbide tools isn't an issue.
