Precision tools for small-scale turning projects

The Hamlet HCT168 Miniature Tool Set is specifically designed for delicate, detailed work where standard-sized tools are simply too large. From pens and bottle stoppers to finials and small ornaments, these compact high-speed steel tools give you the control and precision needed for miniature turning projects.

Why Miniature Tools?
