Condition
These tools
came from a longtime machinist's shop and have been stored for many years.
They show
normal signs of age, storage and previous shop use. Cutting edges generally
appear quite good, but I have not attempted to sharpen or alter them.
The tools
have not been machine-tested by the seller. Please examine the photographs
carefully for cutting-edge condition, exact geometry, dimensions and markings.
Protective
tubes shown in the photographs are included.
Sold only as
the complete 7-piece lot.
