Parting and Cutoff Issue

[Round in circles]

I had started a thread cussing about my parting woes a while back. A few people had suggested that I try an Iscar style parting tool that uses carbide inserts. I bought one and tried it...loved it. I'll never go back to those old style parting tools.

Could you please post a link to the tool holder and insert that you are using? There are so many different ones, I don't know where to start when considering an insert type holder.

Savarin,
The link in your reply leads to nowhere.

So I have just found. I cant find any reference to the original post either.
Admins? any ideas?

Actual I believe there is a serious bug with this site. Twice I have suddenly lost my membership even though I was a donator. I could log on one day but not the next. When I rejoin, all my posts appear to be gone. Makes me wonder how many members have been dropped unknowingly.

I long ago quit using HSS parting tools, got a holder that fits in a standard quick change holder the holds a blade that hold the little parting inserts. In thousands of uses I have gone thru 3 inserts. I cut dry and power thru it on power feed. MGTBN is the block holder, then you get the blade that fits in it, then the insert. Every once in a while MSC, Enco, Travers will have a sale on the whole package which makes it reasonable. Maybe the discount China places like Shars or CDCO sell them but for me parting is one place to buy quality. Seco, Escar, Nikole are some brands that make em, the Nikole are miniature though.

edit: Hertel makes them also and could be the one I have

Thats the link to the pitkin donut I referenced in my original thread '9x20 tool post flex'
It looks as if the whole thread has gone into the wild blue yonder.
The donut has made my 9x20 so much more rigid that I think it should be the first mod done to these machines.

Yep, thats the one, its takes the place of the 4/2 bolt clamp and the degree ring.
I also tapped for a 5mm bolt at each corner of the bottom of the slide.
