Guys since I am getting closer to finishing up my 13" lathe I have a tool holder set from Shars.I had also order some inserts for turning just plain old mild steel.Now I would like to order some inserts for turning aluminum and stainless,but I have never seen what the inserts looks like for using on SS and aluminum.So I guess that they may look the same as the one's for turning mild steel.If they do look alike or maybe a slight difference I was wondering how you keep your inserts organize so that your not using a insert thats for aluminum on stainless steel.Do you have one of those small plastic trays mark aluminum on the cover,or do you have an extra set of tool holders for aluminum and stainless?If you have some pics of what you have please post or if you have a link to what you have that would be nice.Thanks guys,have alot to learn here even the simple things----kroll
