Lathe Tool Holders and Inserts - Anyone recommend a reference on the massive variants available and which is best used for what? What are the most common combinations of Tool Holders / Inserts used in Lathe work?
I have an Aloris BXA-2, and I'd like to get some holders / inserts (I have limited time to use the lathe and would rather spend that time cutting instead of grinding tools), but I'm totally confused by all the variants. I'm just starting out using the lathe (Standard Modern 1340) so any help is appreciated.
