Tooling Opinions/Advice

Now that I'm super close to having my L&S 1610 straight. Looking for info on which holders, insert geometry, etc to purchase. I like the I like idea of getting some nice WMNG inserts and tool holder. I also like the idea of getting some hss from AR Warner like what I have on my small bench top lathe for finish cuts. That being said, this random braised on carbide cutter didn't do to bad with .120" doc in 300 series SS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try CNMG first, it is more widely used I believe.

Buy a quality holder with a carbide shim, not the cheapy w/out it. The carbide shim prevents the holder from being eaten up.
