What size parting tool for QCTP?
#1
I am a new lathe owner and need some advice on parting tools. I have a QCTP in BXA size and wonder which size parting tool to get. The slot is 11/16" tall and I think 3/8" deep. Do you need to match the height to the slot height? What's a good starting point for thickness? For now, most of the stock will be smaller in diameter 1" to 3" and mostly 1018 steel and aluminum. Oh, I have a 12x36 2hp ENCO lathe.
