Does anyone know where I can find a free guide to lathe tooling and maybe techniques, just need to clear up a few things. Managing to get by on what I know but would like to learn more.

Thanks

This is an excellent little book, I refer to mine frequently:

nope but i like your avatar

Depends on the size of your machinery... lots of the smaller machines perform much better with specific tooling. Full ground inserts (offer lower forces) whilst giving excellent repeatability upon insert change.

I find this site has the best tooling for smaller machines....



Anything you want to know - you could always call me u2u for my number.
