Lathe Tools

I think so. Though i can not get a good look at the parting tool. Though i believe parting tool like boring bars, should be chosen separately and worth the extra investment. Buy some extra inserts and you are ready. You can sharpen the inserts also, you know.

The other option is to buy 2nd hand good quality stuff on fleabay. Loads of Sandvik stuff for sale. The toolpost Ill get has a 16mm holder capacity, so would like to maximise and use that.

The other thing that worries me about the cheap import stuff, what inserts does it use? Will they be any good?
