Got tired of cutting and grinding 20/20mm hss blanks to get parting tools.I have an option to get a tool holder for hss blade or get to carbide+tool holder.What is your experience?I see 2 types of holders for carbide.
I do not cut exotic materials.Use it only for the shop.To get an idea of vibrations/rigidity:Lathe is a small/medium one,750mm between centers,320mm over the ways,280 or so over the bed.Tool holder is 20mm.
Have it for 5 years or so and never had to cut parts more than 80mm diameter.So lets say will use it more for small diameters that will require higher rpm.
