Tooling advice for a new lathe
Greetings All.
Am looking at a new lathe, probably a H&F AL336, and would like some advice on tooling. This will be my first lathe and is to be used for hobby/ vehicle restoration. Anticipate turning mild steel, cast iron, Al, brass and hdpe. Am leaning towards setting up with hss tooling rather than carbide but would appreciate any advice and reasons if you think I should be going the other way or getting a mix of both.
Secondly, is it better to buy higher quality tooling from an engineering supplier?
Tony
