When I bought my SB, I got a small can full of misc cutting tools. I tried a 5/8" cutting tool and it is way above the centerline. Am I right in thinking that a 1/2" tool is the correct one? I have an old Enco tool holder that came with the lathe.
The tool in the holder above seems to be for threading. It made neat curly thread like grooves in my test piece. I had to move it to the opposite side of the holder to get it to work.
I am used to a Sherline set up so this "big boy" cutting tool set up is tripping me up a bit.
