The insert type toolset I have takes a trapezoidal shaped insert so there is really only 2 good edges available. It would be nice if I could find one that uses the triangular inserts as that would give another good edge per insert.
I don't recall the brand name of my set, other than it starts with a G. It came with a teeny little boring bar, which I made a new bar clamp for a 5/8": rod, then grooved the 5/8" rod 5 or 6mm wide, and jB welded the toothpick into the groove, and I have used it to bore some pretty impressive holes using that 7x10. That also made me re-machine the bottom of the saddle as it fit the ways very poorly as shipped. Even the V angle of the front rail was off by about 5 degrees! I'd guess its 20 times more precise now. Tool hold posts are a joke too, even the Phase II is very poorly designed and allows itself to rock on the carriage unless one hollow grinds the base a couple thou. The alu interchangeable holders for it are made well, but still have way too much flexibility to do good work, and no amount of extension pipe on the tommy bar handle can get and keep them tight to the v-ways of the post. Lets face it, I need a bigger lathe, like the gunsmith special grizzly sells. :) >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge >Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great > prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in > the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ >_______________________________________________ >Emc-users mailing list >[email protected] >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
