I'm looking to move away from the brazed carbide boring bars and get an indexable bar. But I see them listed with different angles like 91 and 95 deg and I don't know what the difference is (yeah funny guy, I know, it's 4 deg) and what I should look for to meet my particular needs.
I mainly machine aluminum and delrin with an occasional foray into mild steel. I've seen discussions revolve around thru holes or blind holes but I do both types.
Also, what type of insert would work for the boring bar on my mini-lathe? I use TCGT inserts on my regular turning tooling and it works great for all of the materials I use.
