You old timers are going to roll your eyes but hey, I just discovered TPGN.
It occurred to me, I have mostly negative rake carbide insert tool holders. Sometimes you don’t need or want to remove >.200” each pass.
If you are looking for an economical multi purpose carbide tool bit and holder, look at the TPG.
As a hobby machinist, I’m making new discoveries all the time.
The negative rake does fine on my 7.5 HP lathe. Finish quality and lighter cuts can be improved with a neutral or positive rake.
Just thought I would share my discovery.
