Maybe I’ve been watching too much of Cutting Edge Engineering (Curtis) on youtube, but these round insert and holders looked interesting.

Obviously this is the tiny version.

How strange... I just pick up a 12m holder and a 6mm holder (for tight confines) myself.

Going to see how good/bad they are later but sitting waiting on FedEx to deliver a parcel...

I bought one a while back and it leaves an amazing finish. It was a amazon no-name special but it works quite well. I use it as much as my DCGT tool holder with the Aluminum cutting inserts as it leaves a nicer finish on some stuff. It was on my list of things to try and i'm glad i did.

I don't let outside influence decide what I spend money on, never have..... Unless it was/is to ***k someone over (from a different hobby, long story!)

Then again, if I see a tool in use that solves a particular need or problem I face, then that is different.
 
I made one of those in a brazed on a while back. I had a bunch of round carbides to braze, so figured I might as well.

POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

Needed a stand/base for the anvil... saw this video and decided to give it a try... Easy to make and I can make it in two afternoons after work. Unfortunately, the local Lowes does not do project cuttings... only two cuts per piece... since they were out of 2x12x10', I had them cut two...

Not possible to watch too much of him. I’m inspired to make a big one insert tool holder for button inserts like he did last week. But then again, I do work on same type of equipment than he does, so I know his challenges in the tooling. I think I bought the round insert holders to try because I seen him use them all the time.
