For some unknown reason, I have taken on a ton of stainless turning work.... not my strong suit. It is predominantly 304, 316 and a bit of 440C.
I usually use WCMX (trigon) inserts for roughing, and DCGX style inserts for finishing tight areas. I also use some CCMT inserts for my boring bars. I'm thinking that now would be a good time to order some SS specific inserts, rather than just picking randomly from MSC.
I don't have a tooling rep, and don't use enough inserts (thank God) to have the carbide people send me free samples.
I am running these parts on a CNC machine I built out of old pallets, a blender and an InkJet printer... just kidding, Haas turning center.
