Lathe Carbide Insert Tools

[Paul Jones]

JR,
I like your modifications by machining the blank end of the tool holder to handle another insert and all the additional position options this provides. Great idea about regrinding old inserts and re-purposing these for removing scale on hot rolled steel.

By the way, I had to replace all my imported QCTP tool holder set screws with USA made dog point set screws. The original ones that came with the tool holders didn't last long and set screw cup points tend to mar the tool holders. Dog point set screws hold well and don't mar the tool holder surfaces.
