											FoR 16mm Parting Tool Combo
										

									
															
											
											
											
											
																										

									
									
								

								
Title

									
FoR 16mm Parting Tool Combo

				
																
								
Description

									
FoR (Front or Rear) Inverted Parting Toolholder includes a fine, high-strength Crobalt parting tool. Operates with  blade held upside down. Use in front or rear tool post. Model specifically set for tool posts on 16mm Diamond Toolholder. 
  • Inverted blade design significantly reduces  chance of jam-up and blade breakage
  • Minimal side overhang and no front overhang help maximize rigidity
  • Cutting takes place on underside. Swarf tends to fall out of groove rather than pile up on top of cutting edge
  • Lack of swarf on top of blade means coolant is free to get right in to cutting edge
  • Horizontal mounting of blade further reduces chance of blade pulling itself into cut and is especially advantageous when turning brass and bronze.
  • Simple to resharpen--only front face has to be ground. 


Features/Tips

>If backordered, shipping may take 2 to 3 weeks.

Crobalt Solid Round Bit 1/4"x2" L

				
																
								
Description

									
Crobalt solid round tool bits are furnished centerless ground to the tolerances shown above, with both ends ground square. These tool bits are appropriate for use in a Diamond Toolholder, for especially smooth cuts on tough materials. They are recommended for boring, drilling and reaming applications. Solid rounds can also be furnished to different tolerances, and in the as-cast condition with a stock allowance of .030" on the diameter. 
This machine lathe metal-cutting tool assures you of a smooth finish on any metal or even hard plastic. Crobalt has proven itself to be the best of the new alloys.
Features/Tips
If backordered, shipping may take 2 to 3 weeks.

Title

									
Crobalt Solid Round Bit 3/16"x1-1/2" L

				
																
								
Description

									
These Crobalt tips are 3/16" x 1-1/2" with round ends to be ground to the correct angle by the customer, using the Diamond Tool Holder grinding jig that comes with each tool holder kit. This size is appropriate for the users of the new ML8mm Diamond Toolholders, designed for the small bench top lathes, such as the Unimat, Atlas 6", Sherline, and other new Asian lathes.
Crobalt cast alloy is an alternative tool bit to the HSS tips usually used in the Diamond Tool Holders, its ideal for turning tough materials such as stainless, cast iron, and high carbon steels. Tougher and less brittle than carbide it can be ground using a normal aluminum oxide wheel, Crobalt contains 50% cobalt with the remainder being tungsten and chromium, there is no iron or steel in the alloy.
Watch the Diamond Toolholder in action doing a comparison test between M42 HSS (CoHSS) and Crobalt cast alloy -- both toolbits are 1/4" square.
They are being used in a Right Hand 12mm model Diamond Tool Holder, to turn 304 and 316 stainless bar and an interrupted cut on a piece of cast iron.
The lathe is a 1960s Colchester Chipmaster. 
Features/Tips
If backordered, shipping may take 2 to 3 weeks.

Title

									
L16mm Diamond Toolholder

				
																
								
Description

									
Diamond Toolholder's unique design provides a number of benefits over standard tooling, both in use and when sharpening. When cutting, 80 degree included angle of tool allows machinist to both turn and face in same setup, saving time and tooling. When it comes time to sharpen toolbit, simply clamp it in sharpening jig (supplied with Right Hand Toolholder kit) and grind. That's all there is to sharpening toolbit -- no complicated geometry, only one face needs grinding. Get perfect results every time!
L16mm Toolholder is perfect size for medium to large sized lathes, 12-19 inches in swing. toolholder uses 5/16" square toolbits and features a .672"x5/8"x3-1/2" shank size for increased ridgidity. "L" denotes a left hand toolholder, which will cut towards lathe tailstock and will do facing cuts on shoulders to right side of tool. Right hand toolholders are also available.
Tool holder size will depend on a combination of size of your lathe and type of tool post fitted. Model number indicates distance in millimeters from bottom of tool post tool slot to lathe centerline. Check tool height and size of tool slot in tool post before purchasing.
L16mm Toolholder includes: 
 - 1 Left Hand Toolholder
 - 1 HSS Tool Blank 
NOTE: This model includes the HSS tool blank only, assuming you already own Right Hand Diamond Toolholder, which comes with a Hex Key, Grinding Jig, DVD, and HSM article reprints.
