Hello all,
I just purchased a sherline lathe and am waiting on the carbide tipped tools to deliver. Obviously Sherline wants me to buy their inserts, but I'd like to look at other options. Does anyone know for sure what inserts will work in these tools?

At a glance I'd say CCMT inserts and maybe vnga?? There are so many different inserts available there's no way I'm going to get this right without help. And I really don't want to pay $20 an insert through sherline. Any help is appreciated. I'll try posting a pic of the tools...
 
The inserts are 55 degrees and 80 degrees.

Not sure, But you should be able to measure them then get on line with some of the companies that provide them and find a replacement.
 
Thanks!
I haven't received the tools yet, but I'll do that once I receive them.
