Re: Info for which tooling to buy.
Hi Lee, I have a similar set,? I think you'll find that some of those for larger tooling are? a little overkill for these machines. I just about only use 3/8? and 1/4"? HSS bits.? If you use

Re: Info for which tooling to buy.
Ain't that the truth. I used Clausing Colchester lathes in my class, a few years ago. Teaching machines, so sort of bottom edge af real industrial lathes. The small one, a 13" lathe, weighed 2700# and

Re: Info for which tooling to buy.
Get a copy(reprint) of the Atlas manual and some HHS cutter bits. Learn to grind the HHS bits. Use them and resharpen. You could get carbide tips but you are NOT ready to use them at this point.

What jmartin said. Start there, then once you know what to do with your machine. You can branch out to carbide insert tooling.? Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live

Re: Info for which tooling to buy.
Another vote here for HSS bits and learning to grind them. There are of course always exceptions, but in general carbide does best with high speeds and heavy cuts to get a good finish. With HHS you

Re: Info for which tooling to buy.
Learn to grind HSS tool and what angles do what! Many times the old treade powered lathe tool grinds are appropiate for our work. Carbide tooling requires power and rigidity, neither of which the

Do you have a grinder?? If so, get some high speed steel bits and learn how to grind them.

Cal Ranch is great for common Gr. 5 and 8 as sold by the pound. I have done a lot of business with Bolt Dep. Excellent service and prices. Tried bolts & nuts, they show items in stock then screw you
