Two issues.... took video footage

It's round bar from Curtis Steel, a metal supplier here in Las Vegas

Also, I figured out why my work pieces have rough finishes. My carbide inserts keep breaking.

When I'm turning a right hand cutting tool, going from right to left, should I back out the cross slide before going back to the start area? I've just been using the carriage wheel when I''m turning. I set it to .005, then move the carriage to the left, then move it back to the starting point without pulling back the cross slide.

I'm still trying to figure out how to cut HSS blanks.
