Indexable lathe tooling recommendations?

Other than maybe looks I think you would be hard pressed to find a difference in this set and the one in your link. You can always get better inserts.

That's the set I have now. Not as nice of a case but the same set. One thing I did not realize in my original post is that I was using the China inserts. They were undersized for the tool. I switched to regular standard inserts and did not have a problem after that. The China inserts (I assume came with the set) were quite a bit smaller than the tooling cutout. Probably 10 thou or so. They were moving! I put a real insert in and they fit snugly. I haven't had a problem since. Should have guessed! Good Grief!
