I finally have a lathe (20hp, 20", 1700rpm L&S Powerturn) where it will be worthwhile to use carbide tooling and am looking for a guide for appropriate grades of inserts. I will be using my lathe in my hobby shop and my kids will be using it for heavy equipment and farm repair. I'd like to match the inserts to the materials we will be working with, without going overboard on the different grades. Most of the work will be for shafting, either roughing on a built up weld or making new shafts or aluminum parts. My preference would be 1-2 grades for steel work and 1 grade for Aluminum.
I'll need inserts for my Aloris TPN style tooling and also recommendations for inserts and tool holders for both boring bars and conventional square toolholders.
Thanks,
