Hi all,
I've noticed some of you are a lot better at find stuff than I am.
The hercus came with a joke for a parting tool. It's one of those silly 1/2" things that MIGHT just cut aluminium. I need a proper one.
Any sources would be appreciated.
I've even had a look at the quick change toolpost systems in the hope one of them would be rigid enough to do some proper work, but there is no real information on the websites.
I'd like to mount a 1" X 1/8" parting tool in the machine and clamp it good and tight. One of those hercus single tool holders would be good, might be a bit better than the 4 way.
Anyway any thoughts appreciated.
It also came with a set of toy carbide holders and tools. I really don't know what people think when they set up these little lathes...I stuck in a pointy bit of HSS and it cut satisfactorily. I reckon it's barely got the power and strength to drive a carbide tool properly, even these tiny ones...
