While cleaning out some old cabinets at work today I came across an old Iscar IEM. It has a 3/4" shank and a 1.5" cut diameter. It had some TPG inserts in it that are of no use and can't find any others in the shop. There is a few steel jobs that we may be able to use it on but have no idea what style inserts this will take or what d.o.c etc it would be capable of. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TPGs????
Throw the f'n thing in the trash... Its not even a high end TPG POS.. The inserts aren't even laying back..
I'm not even sure Shar's sells garbage face mills like that anymore...
Then the TPG thing.. 50's technology, shitty flat top inserts...
False economy to even try to make any use out of it..
I had some and sold some, and then I felt guilty and threw the rest away..
Its tough sleeping at night while your conscious is thinking about some poor dude on
his bench top grizzly (that he scrimped and saved to buy), and he's trying to take a
.01 cut on some hot rolled gummy bear steel, and all you can hear is WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP
as his spindle bearings are pounded into sawdust.
Right in the garbage, or even better yet, swing by the river on your way home and throw it
in there so NOBODY can ever use it ever again.. You will sleep much better.
