Hello,

I'm a beginner machinist and we need to part off 32" 6061 on our lathe. We have a partoff blade with insert (SP300 inserts) but it's an insert for steel and not sharp.
I found that for Aluminium the best insert is a very sharp one. But I can't find inserts for Aluminium (or I'm looking in the wrong places).
Any advice which inserts to use? Or maybe a complete new tool?
 
Take a look at Sandvik and call your tool Rep. The initial set up may be costly but will be worth the money spent. Then you will have the tool around for everything and be on your way to using world class tools with world class customer service.

Good luck
