[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2248805, member: 17722"] Just a hobbyist, no business commitments, time is no issue, but I still use carbide inserts. Have multiple holders for DCGT, VCGT, CCGT, WNMG, TNMG, and laydown threading bits. All uncoated intended for Aluminum. I like WNMG with 6 sides to wear out for roughing. All these uncoated real sharp bits are extremely fragile, lost a few due to carelessness. Tool holders, I use the Warner for the VCGT bits. Use VCGT 221 or 220.5 for crowning. For square, acme, and grooving I use ThinBit carbide inserts. Have their threading and grooving holders. I did order special bit from them for threading 60 degrees close to shoulder. [ATTACH type="full"]287653[/ATTACH] I did spend quite a bit trying to figure out what works for me with my limited skills, and what does not. I did not start learning how to run machines till after I was retired for a few years, never tried to learn how to grind bits. Maybe now I can learn. [/QUOTE]
