Thanks for the advice and apologies for late getting back.
Travelling too much for work.
I've bought some Haas & Widia inserts to try out.
I did send an inquiry to Imachine909 to see about a long distance tool supplier but no response yet.
If anyone has a tooling rep willing to work long...
Thanks,
Any thoughts on quality of inserts to buy for learning.
Direct from China - cheap
Shars -hopefully some quality control & cheap
Hass - what quality level are being sold with Haas Brand
kennametal/widia/iscar - high quality and learn on good production quality tooling
regards,
I'm starting up a 1990 QT-8. My first real lathe.
I'm seeing a lot of people using left hand tools, is this still the recommended setup to use.
What tools and quality for learning / start up would be recommended.
Thanks for your time.
Mark
