Looking for a source of triangle inserts 16mm but could use one size larger if 16mm toolholders for the larger inserts are available. Truth is I could grind, drill, and tap a toolholder if need be. All I seem to find is neutral or 7 degree "C" relief angle. Really want a sharper angle to allow inside radius turning. Ideal source would have TGXX160404, TGXX16XXXX. of course any angle greater than 7 degrees is going to be favored over a more obtuse angle. In order of preference TGXXXXX, TFXXXXX, TEXXXXX, TDXXXXC I already have a source for TCXXXXX,
I generally favor cheap inserts. But for difficult to source items My budget is more robust.
By way of supporting information: I have ground my Neutral tool holder to allow a 40mm plunge without contacting the surface of the bored hole assuming the tip of the insert is on the radius of a 1/4" pilot hole. I also have considered elevating my insert above centerline but want to avoid that option at least because it modifies the rest of the cut geometry in ways I do not fully understand without acquiring a headache. Finally, I have attempted to grind an insert, for my own situation that option appears quite tedious and unrewarding.
