Lathe Indexing Tools

[T0rnado69]

well im getting a little confused, as i see there is.


SCLCR
DCMT
CCMT


whats the difference between them all..

im using the quick change toolpost and it will take 12mm tools, if thats any help.

For smaller lathes, you can't really go wrong with CC_T insert holders, as the insert choice and cutting angles are a good compromise. The insert size is upto you, however if you're getting a boring bar, it's worth going for the smaller inserts, as it reduces the number of insert sizes/types you need to have.

i like the idea of that, even better if one size tip fits all the holders.
