I recently bought a lot of carbide inserts from ebay, and I want to make tool holders for them to use on my lathe.
The lathe is a PM1030V and I turn aluminum, 303 stainless, O1, and 4140 most often. I want to make the tool holders as a machining exercise and I find I learn the most by trying to make something and figuring out how to make it work better. I fully understand that these inserts may not be the best for turning or ideal for my machine, but I got 41 of them for $26 so I don't think I could learn cheaper with import inserts direct from China.
Here is a picture of the inserts:
Here is the info I can gather on them and its accurate to the best of my knowledge
