Made some improvements and seemed to be working well. @stevasaurus made a few Hooobie-Doobies this afternoon Have you ever seen or used an insert parting/grooving tool? They look like these https://www.ebay.com/itm/163870018762, but of course better brand/quality, rather adjustable and easily replaceable carbide cutting inserts, IMO and experiences they are way better than the HSS blanks or carbide tipped HSS, and some sort of sprayable cutting oil like this from Spray On. https://www.grainger.com/product/SPRAYON-Cutting-Oil-2W755 as you can spray it directly on the tool with 1 hand while turning the cross/compound wheel with the other basically like "flood coolant" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
