Going a bit off topic, but I think that what you call drill rod in the US, is probably what we call silver steel in the UK. ?It is plain carbon steel, something like 1 or 1.1% C and nothing else

Bill; I agree wholehearted with you. I make emergency taps, and all kinds of 'experimental' tool bis from drill rod and o1tool steel - cheep,easy to heat treet and reuseable. And fun to doRay

Got it all the first time. Agree that more toolposts make the lathe more versatile. ________________________________ Sent: Thursday, March 7, 2024 8:45 AM To: [email protected]

Yes, you certainly can. But, HSS has only been around a bit over a century. The modern world was built mostly without it, and with high carbon tool steel. For some things, it is still superior to

I haven’t used a lantern post in about 35 years. I don’t miss it. When I bought my South Be d 10L Heavy back in 1983, it came with one. I used it for several years, becoming increasingly

Well crud. If you are even remotely interested in reading my polemic on toolposts, you'd have to hit the "show trimmed text" or just read the quoted text here...? Somehow trimming the 4 or 5 previous

Because lanterns work better for some things. And Blocks work better for some other things, so you should have one of those, too. Likewise a QCTP and lots of tool holders to fit it. Depends on what

I keep meaning to make a 4 way for my home built Gingery Lathe but truthful with the QCTP on the Heavy 10L I rarely use the Gingery. Money spent on a QCTP is not wasted. At least as you get older

Why are people still using lanterns?? Get yourself a chunk of square steel, hold in 4 jaw, hole through the middle, clamp down on top of compound, milling cutter in chuck, 8 tapped holes & you've got

Should be easy to replace the rocker with a rectangular piece, height may have to be shimmed to get top of insert on centerline of the workpiece. ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday,

Something does not click here. are you sure that you are using the correct insert tool holder for your particular insert? Post a pic please Best

And this is why people need to post pictures, so we are not left speculating without really knowing the situation.

That would make a lot of sense . The AR Warner cutters I have go through just about anything I put in front of them like butter . I just get them on center line & go . If ya are using a lantern tool

What tool holder are you using to hold the insert holder? A TCMT has a 7-degree positive relief angle built into it. Mentioning HTRL makes me think you are using lantern post style holders designed

Thank you all for answering so promptly. The first reaction I had was, "Yes I need to grind the insert holder".? ?But before I did that I read again.? There are many references to the tool

Sounds like there's something in yer setup that needs adjusting . How big of cuts are ya trying to make ? Are you on center line with the work piece ? animal

Animal, I guess I just try to push my cutting to hard. I have dulled my Warners cutters many times. The front corner actually get worn down so not as easy to sharpen as just doing the top. These

?? What set of tool holder & inserts are you using? I've been running these HSS inserts from HR Warner for years . I'm still on the original inserts & don't think I have put any insert on the 3rd

I'm using Sumitomo CCMT32.52ESU AC52OU. Most of these numbers mean something but I always have to look it up. This is the style and size of insert holder I have for external and some internal tools.

First thing is to make sure you have the correct tool holder for the insert. There are 2 main styles. Negative and neutral (positive) style. On the negative style, if you look at your tool holder the
