[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1242130, member: 2736"] +1 Carbide inserted tools are great and can be bought in many configurations. They cut clean (When they are sharp) and will run well at almost any speed. For turning, carbide tools cut best at spindle speeds over 300 rpm (Depending on the diameter of the work) but for threading, I like the slower speeds (45 to 80 RPM)for the control of the half nut. the inserts also work well at these speeds. The nice thing about inserts is, if you dull a tool/insert, it can be replaced without losing your threading setup. As mentioned, Shars has lots of tooling for inserts and pricing is good. There are some inserts sold on line that are made in China and are not very good so I don't recommend them. For threading I recommend the brand names and if bought from Shars, the prices are good. also read the recommended use for the insert, There are different inserts for different materials.
