parting of made simple

<< < (4/4)

Arbalist:
Chronos now sell similar blades separately from their holders. Not in the same range of sizes sadly but the ones they have are much cheaper.

Jonny:
Missing the point Arbalist I had to start some where and did it for fun for around 20 years so know both sides.

Parting was always a problem best avoided by using either a decent Sandvik tool or many of those hss cobalt blades even Eclipse that will wear before it actually parts off some materials. No way could I bring myself to fork out for a decent brand (Iscar) parting tool but knowing what i know now after trying loads of designs, it was part of the problem, the other was machine flex the root of all evil.
The point being is that decent non Chinese tipped tools last the job having little flex without wearing out and different styles cut better than others so would be pricey finding the right tool.

Arbalist:
You're still speaking for yourself and the way you work. Some folks on here would struggle to use insert parting tools on their modest size machines so they use HSS.

As a point of interest I use both insert and HSS turning and parting tools.

I also don't believe insert tooling is the only answer as the link I posted earlier suggests.
The products they sell are clearly aimed at industry not hobbyists.

I think it's best we agree to disagree on this one Jon.
