I've almost got the 21" DSG running, so need to get a couple of larger tools for general turning and facing to get me started. I don't want to be messing around sharing often used tools with my smaller Takisawa lathe (and they probably aren't ideal anyway).

The only larger inserts I've currently got are WNMG0804's so I could grab a larger holder for those, but also thinking that SNMG and a PSSNR holder looks like a very useful style.
Mainly for use on steel, as thats 99% of what I work with.

Any recommendations from those of you who run larger lathes? What turning/facing tools do you use or like the most?
