I purchased a tool holder kit from QMT with my lathe to get me started with carbide inserts. I used HSS on my previous machine. The kit came with right and left hand turning and facing holders, a threading holder, a 3/8" boring bar, and a 5/8" boring bar along with some gold and silver CCMT inserts. So far the kit has served me well except for the gold inserts which I have not found anything they seem to work well on. The tools seem to be of pretty good quality. I have some additional ccmt inserts on order and would like to have some more tool holders so I don't have to switch out inserts and keep track of which corner has been used.
These holders were not that expensive and seem to be adequate. I am half tempted to order another set. Does anyone have any recommendations for more tool holders that would merit consideration?
Thanks for your help.
