Round insert lathe tool - where to buy?
« on: May 12, 2011, 11:10:33 AM »
So I have decided to try to find a round insert lathe tool. I have heard (well, read) quite a few people who are very happy with them. So, where can I buy one that is in the states? Any recommendations?

Can't help with Stateside, but have a look at Glanze in UK. The ISO holder designation is SRDCN (neutral), SRDCR or SRDCL.

Find some really cheap round inserts on Ebay and build a holder to fit them. They really do work great, especially on aluminum. Not so good for close shoulder work though... :doh:

Here is a decent deal:

Eric,

The soft end of a worn out brazed carbide bit is a good piece of material for making a holder. If you don't have any I can send you several 1/2" ones.
