Thread: What are your thoughts.

Rhett,

I am one of the people who looked at the site. I was very interested. I am looking for threading tool holders and inserts. I did not see an internal threading holder. I presume the insert prices are per insert. Any discount for buying 10.

By the way, what is an

32mm External Boring Bar - S32T-MTUNR16

Be great for boring external holes!!

A similar situation occurred when "Smith and Arrow" were mentioned on this forum. They started offering monthly specials for forum members.

Hi Dean,

I currently have one size internal threading holder which isn't listed on my site yet, it has a 13mm shank. The new stock coming in the next couple of couple of weeks includes 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm and 25mm shanks. Inserts will include 55 and 60 degree partial profiles, and a range of full profile ISO metric inserts from 1.0-3.0mm. All inserts are the best available grade with a TiAlN coating.

Are there threading requirements that you might have that wouldn't be covered by this range? I'm happy to send you a unit to try if you're happy to wait for the new stock to come in?

There will be a scale of discounts for buying more than 1 insert, I'm working on an intuitive way to implement it on the website at the moment. With about 50 different types of insert on the way I need to keep it manageable.

Good catch on the external boring bars, not sure what I was thinking there!!

More than happy to offer forum members specials, but I'd be more inclined to offer a percentage discount at the checkout applicable to all products instead of random monthly specials.

When buying inserts I always look at the grade and look at the manufacturers list of grades to see where it lies...

I only buy steel inserts at this point in time, but even in that there is a wide variation in grades.... Very tough but less hard inserts for doing stuff like interrupted cuts, then you get very hard but brittle for doing hardened material but they will chip at the slightest interrupted cut and be rendered useless...

I will be looking for 25mm tooling I think. I have only used 20mm, but I think 25mm will fit. If I have to mill a bit off the bottom, so much the better, but not so good for a try out tool if I don't keep it!

I think this range would be enough to suit my needs. Mainly I would be after 60 deg but will probably have a couple of 55 deg on hand just in case. I would be happy to try out some tooling.

Sounds good. Can you tell me if you will be getting CMNG1130? inserts. I have an old SECO holder for this type, but they seem to be rare. I can get them, but have not seen them at cheaper prices. I am considering changing to a tool that takes CNM1230?. These are much more common.

That sounds like a better idea. Specials are only useful if they are what you need.

Hey Shane,

Have a set of the 12mm 5 piece tools you first linkedtoo. They are OK, but I eventuallyreplaced them with 16mm SCLCR tooling which is much better.The 12mm ones still get used though, theoriginal tips have long gone but they were an ISO size so you can easily buyreplacements off ebay.Like someonementioned before though, the carbide tip is not well supported with these tools,and they aren’t a well finished item.

Id just go for the SCLCR stuff in 12 or 16mm straight awayif I had my time again.

Thanks, but your mail box is full again.

I'm here to listen. If anyone is interested, please feel free to tell me what you would like to see on the market and at what price you think is reasonable, and I will do my best to make it happen.

Currently sold out of the inserts for the posted tool, but I have a large order on its way in the next couple of weeks with a much wider range of tool holders and inserts (full profile ISO threading, aluminium grade inserts etc).

Also if there is a keen respected member here I'd be happy to send a review unit of any of my tool holders with a few inserts for you to try. I believe in only stocking high quality items, but I will let my customers be the judge of that. I personally work with titanium and cobalt chrome so that's my benchmark.

I have a small shopfront/office in Yarraville, Melbourne if anyone would like to drop in and have a look, address is on the website =)

Rhett,

Good to see you've listed a greater range. Very nice prices! I'll be ordering some inserts in the new year.

Website looks good, though it took me a minute to work out how to set quantity of inserts. I think it would be ideal to have a quantity box on the insert page, and also if the text on the cart page was a bit bigger.

Best of luck with the venture, it's great to see someone selling inserts at good prices locally.

Thanks mate, I received all my new stock but it has taken me longer than I anticipated to take all the photos, edit them, then add the products to my site. Once I'm all done I'll set up a discount for Woodwork forum members.
