For a 9A, I think you should be looking at HSS instead of carbide.
What type of insert are you using? Positive rake?
I’ll be the contrarian here. I usually use indexible carbide tooling on my 9” Logan, which is directly comparable to a 9A. In fact, every AXA holder on my bench has carbide insert tools except the boring bar and the parting blade. It works just fine for me with sharp inserts. I do occasionally use HSS when I need a mirror finish or a form tool.
