Carbide-tipped brazed square nose tools

how are carbide-tipped brazed square nose tools used? What are they used for?

I figured they were blanks that could ground to special shapes.

I thought they could be angled and used as either a right or left tool.

Illinoyance · Apr 18, 2023

Yes, that too.

Generally I have seen them used for form tools.

BTW, I have a bunch of them with 1/2" shank, all Kennametal if anyone is interested.

How many do you have and what you have to have for them?
