What diameter would you like to part?

What diameter would you like to part?

Well, more than 25 if possible. There will be a limit, need to measure the max. With blades this can be adjusted.

GTN style insert up to 32mm diameter - https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/part-off-...2mm-shank.html

WDN style insert up to 26mm diameter - https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/external-...max-depth.html
(APT do do a 32mm version, but they're showing as out of stock)

I personally use the WDN style, as I couldn't find a reasonably priced 12x12 shank holder for GTN types when I was originally buying holders.

Thanks. This one will be better. What I do need to find out from APT is the size of the 'head'. If its too long, then even cutting some of the rear off doesnt help as the head will protrude. This is the issue I have with the Glanze unit that I have.

If I remember, I'll get some rough measurements for you when I'm in the workshop later, as I've got a couple different ones.

Thanks. Appreciated. Ive emailed APT support, ive used them in the past and they are really good but finding a parting solution for this otherwise excellent little CNC lathe.

Realised earlier that I've actually got a GTN style in the lathe just now.
It's this one - https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/part-off-...2mm-shank.html
Tip to the back of the head is about 26mm. I only remembered after I'd turned the lathe off, and the parting tool was at a less than ideal angle to accurately measure.

I also measured a 26mm diameter WDN holder, and the tip to back of head is 21.1mm
