Re: Are smaller lathe cutting tools available?

Just a little update.

I received my 3mm cutting tools set and straight tool holder. I haven't the time to play with it until the weekend but I thought a quick picture might help others who are thinking of getting a set. The red tool in the picture is my normal 8mm sized cutting tool. I very much like this set but the proof will be once I get to cut some metal.

I can already see that it will be heaps easier to get into tight spaces with these new tools. It is a bit strange though that I'm spending as much on cutting tools and holding vises as I spent on my lathe in the first place. Still, it is all fun .



I hope this helps.

Dan
