Anyone know of a source for tangtung in 5/16x 5/16x3 ? my supplier has dried up and am in need of alternitive source or another tooling material that will hold up on 416 stainless. Carbide inserts are an option but only if I can get them formed to cut a radius. any help would be appreciated ,thanks. dave
Dave- getting carbide tools ground to form a radius is no problem. What radius are you looking for? Probably, an insert is already made with that radius on it. Some inserts are also round. Try MSCDIRECT.com. Or jlindustrial.com. Also, MSC will custom grind inserts for you. You send them a fax with a drawing, quantity, and material and they will respond with a price and delivery. Look in the phone book for tool grinders. They can take your inserts and grind them to your specs. Cheers, Eric
