I'm trying to find a source to buy a variety of concave lathe inserts with a corresponding indexable holder. Any pointers?

Thank you.
 
swiftcarb.com has them for milling cutters. No lathe tools that I saw, but you could use a milling cutter in a boring bar holder or modify a cutter shank.
I have no connection to them.
 
Someone did use to do these, i rmember seeing a dvert, but it was over a decade ago now. but i don't remember who, not sure if there still available, since most turn with CNC radii are a near zero effort thing.
 
Guys,

Thank you for confirming that I'm not crazy. Sounds like the concave inserts of a reasonable size range simply do not exist.

Back to using my brazed bits and corner rounding mills. :(
 
Yes, I have seen milling inserts of course and considered this option. Maybe I should look into this again.
Thank you for the links.
