Hey all, dumb question from a newbie here. But I was going to purchase a carbide insert threading tool for my lathe, I have a QCTP and it will accept up to 5/8" bits. Am I better to purchase the largest tooling that will fit my tool post? Or should I go smaller? I would think the larger tool, the more rigid it would be. Are there any drawbacks to the larger tooling?
Next question, I am not sure if I am allowed to post links but I was looking at getting the Mesa Tools 5/8" threading tool that will thread external and internal threads. Has anyone used one of these before? Any opinions on it? Thanks for all the help!
