Title: New lathe tool
Post by: Sanatorium on March 17, 2018, 01:17:56 AM
Why buy expensive carbide lathe tools when I can make my own with the abundance of carbide inserts...
This little cutie sits on a 5/16 stainless steel shaft. Insert in barely 1 inch long by 5/16s....i know this will cut like butter...(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180317/5cff5d210ede638d178fa47ca2d00a68.jpg)

Man I wish I could do that. You ever considered making tools to sell?

I'd be interested if you do. They are typically expensive but I'd like to have more. I use some minis now but want other sizes

Probably a 4in diameter rougher square bit like the R4 full size.
