Hi Guys,
about year or so ago I bought a Weiss WM250VF lathe and with it I bought a set of lathe tools which cost about $160 and they use TCMT110204 inserts. (probably real cheap stuff, but I knew/know no better)
Now it may be my beginner lack of experience but these inserts seem to chip just looking at them no matter how gentle I try to be.
Can anyone recommend a source of good inserts, either in Melbourne (Nth East) or online suppliers, I want a known good named brand so I can eliminate one unknown (me or the insert).
Perhaps the H&F Kyocera brand? and what do the above numbers mean?
as an aside, I bought a 1/4" set of lathe tools for my Taig lathe from LMM and I have used the thread cutter on my WM250VF several times now and the TCMM insert it uses seems to handle everything well.
thanks
Eric
