Re: Info for which tooling to buy.


 

A big thanks to everyone.? Including all replies here rather than trying to go down through the list.? I hope everyone is OK with that!
?
I should have mentioned I do plan on using/learning to grind HSS as well (3 benchtop grinding wheel units and a grinding wheel attachment/tool for the lathe, I'd better LOL!)? What turning I have done has only been been with HSS.? I just wanted both options and was looking for links with proven tools from experienced people here.? Thankfully I have a lot of tooling that came with my system and that includes some of the replaceable carbide inserts, but not the tool holders for them.
?
As to knurling, I also appreciate the info on that.? I had already seen where I need to make it into a scissors type holder.? I bought the package deal after doing a lot of math deciding to convert mine after I got it.??
?
I also appreciate the tips on sharpening carbide.? I knew it could be done.? I have done a lot of research online and done a lot of research (handicapped not always able to get hands on right away), have the Mr. Pete video series I bought for Atlas Lathes he made as well as made a page of notes when watching each section.? Just need to get the nads on part now as well.? I and have also been watching Blondie hacks as well as other online videos.??
?
Now, having said all of that, and I very much appreciate everyone pointing me in the directions thay have and you can be sure I will be using HSS, I still would like to know recommended tooling to hold the carbide inserts I already have LOL!? I am just trying to make sure to avoid any unknown problems/mistakes I may be unaware of.
