Hi all,
I'm working on a radius cutting attachment for my lathe and I am down to building the insert holder. I am planning on using an RCGT0803 because I am already using that insert for another tool I have. If I'm not mistaken, it should use an M3x0.5 screw. I check Carbide Depot and the page for my insert holder says is uses the TS3 but then shows pictures of both the M3x0.2 and the M3x0.5. I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. What screw should I be using? Where would be a good place to pick one up? I ask because that TS3 from Carbide depot is $2.34 for a single screw and then there is ground shipping which is $12.85. For. A. Screw.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
