The following turning tools are used for cylindrical turning and facing :

- right-offset side-cutting tool
- right-bent roughing tool
- internal side-cutting tool (boring tool)
- internal roughing tool

Figure 6 Right-offset side-cutting tool

Figure 7 Right-bent roughing tool

Figure 8 Internal side-cutting tool (boring tool)

Figure 9 Internal roughing tool

When looking at the turning tool from the front, the position of the side-cutting edge tells us whether it is a right-hand or left-hand cutting tool.
