1974, 10K, 1/2hp 3 ph w VFD, with a Create A tool post. A, not Aa
looking for Education / Insight, and thoughts on the following question.
Its time to buy tooling. Budget in mind however would rather buy good tooling once than buy bad tooling many times. Would like to start with indexable insert type tooling.
First off this will be primarily hobby and self education. Not knowing, should I have a preference on tool holders 16mm/0.629" using 1/2" shank or 20mm/3/4" shank? bigger is more rigged makes me think 3/4" is the way to go however also cost increases. Might be overkill for the 10K, and on the other end looks like when you get into searching 1/2" tooling might have less selection. As of now I've looked at kennametal only. Just trying to get things going. Need to get right hand & left hand for turning and facing, internal and external threading, boring bar and parting/cut off. Part #s pictures would save me some headache. Even if its what you would go with if $ was not a concern. Any recommendations and education are greatly appreciated.
