Hello Gents,
After reading the responses to my request for tooling advice for m Myford ML7, I decided to perhaps have a go at the Glanze ones Keit
(sorry, don't know surname) suggested. Chronos have sets vailable
which I quite like the look of:
"Set of 10mm Glanze Mini Indexable Turning Tools(Reference #SCIND02)".
Presumably, it is indeed the 10mm ones I need for the ML7? I got couple of tools with the lathe, which measure about 9.5mm square, bu not quite 10mm.
Also regarding tooling. I had a play around last week with the lathe and I couldn't get a good surface finish, even with the slowes possible feed. Presumably, because the tool had a point, it was jus creating a fine spiral cut, hence the rubbish finish. I replaced thi tool with a half round one, and the surface finish obviousl dramatically improved. Is the half circle tool defined as a 'finishin tool' or a 'form' tool? In the Glanze sets I can only see the rhombu type inserts, which will presumably return me to the poor surfac finish scenario. Whats the score there?
Also, oil guns, mine is crap. What are the best ones to go for fot th ML7?
Thanks a lot for any advice. I apologise again for the stupidl elementary questions, but I figure that is what forums are fo sometimes!
Regards,
Garth
