Indexable Cutting Bits

ArizonaPete said:

I recently purchased a set of indexable carbide cutting bits primarily to for use in replacing tips and truing ferrules. I've used the AR a couple of times and it does a great job in truing a ferrule and trimming the edge of a new tip. The set includes an AR, AL, BR, BL, and E. What would these bits used for?

Basically the AR, AL, BR, and BL have the same function turning, cutting, facing, and chamfering.

A left (AL and BL) tool points to the right. and a right tool (AR and BR) points to the left.

An E tool points straight ahead and can be used for all of the above and grooving or mayby threading.
