HSS and carbide tooling

[Mayhem]

I am currently engaging with Hemly Tool in Connecticut to supply some tool holders. On my list are an internal and external holder for lay down threading inserts. I have received a quote on some Dorian holders and was sent a copy of their turning catalogue for reference.

I found the info very good, so I thought I would post a link here. There is other literature on this page but I haven't looked at it yet.

I have been collecting catalogues since PixMan enlightened me to the fact that carbide insert tooling does have a place in the home shop. Lots of good information on nomenclature and also handy to reference chip breaker and grades.
