Asieg Tool Ci3 R1 12mm Round Carbide Inserts – 10pc for Wood Lathe

Enhance Your Woodturning with Asieg Tool Ci3 R1 Inserts

The Asieg Tool Ci3 R1 12mm round carbide inserts are designed for woodturning enthusiasts and DIYers who value dependable performance. These inserts pair a compact 12mm diameter with a precise 2.5mm thickness and a 30-degree cutting angle, all crafted from durable tungsten carbide. The 0.178 inch countersink mounting hole is positioned to provide stable, repeatable mounting on compatible tools, helping you approach finishes with greater confidence. Rather than one-off results, these inserts are built to support steady progress across projects as you refine your technique and explore curved and hollowed shapes.

Key specs

• Size: 12mm (0.472") diameter; 2.5mm thickness; 30° cutting angle; 0.178" countersink mounting hole
• Material: Tungsten carbide for durability and efficient material removal
• Geometry: Precisely ground edge to promote clean, controlled cuts

What to expect when using them

• Finish-focused performance for curved and concave surfaces, as well as hollower work
• Leaves a smooth finish after each pass, reducing subsequent sanding time
• Reliable repeatability on general wood turning tasks with compatible lathe systems

The 10-piece set comes neatly packed in a plastic box, making it easy to rotate inserts and keep sharp edges ready for your next project. While individual results depend on technique and material, many users notice crisper edges and more consistent finishes when incorporating the Ci3 R1 inserts into routine woodturning work.

Usage and care tips

For best results, maintain steady feed rates and steady support for your workpiece. Tungsten carbide edges hold up longer than standard tooling under appropriate conditions, which can cut downtime between changes. Always follow safety guidelines and wear protective gear during operation.

With proper care, these inserts can become a reliable part of your toolkit for finishing touches on curved shapes or hollowing tasks, helping you explore new designs with confidence.
