Thanks,
My only problem with Walter is they don't have an office here in South Africa. After sales could be troublesome maybe Iscar, Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal might be a better option if they have something similar the the Walter F4041.
I'm not trying to do Walter out of a sale - you have to look at it from your point of view.

'Tis really a small world.
We will just have to patiently shop around and see what we find. Like Ken says, it's the Tool together with the right INSERTS which is going to make all the difference. We have the 6 sided (I think) MITSUBISHI OCTOCUT which unfortunately we have not pushed to the limit and this is, we are sure a Shoulder Cutting Tool, if we recall from our brochure. We could be mistaken.
It is indeed really surprising what "providence" has in store for U. Simple example, some Years back, I was looking for a lathe "with 5C Collets" and picked up a beautiful UK Made, Hardinge KL-1, a true HLVH Copy, from the good Guys in Hartebeespoort, TH Machine Tools. What a dream machine !!! Eventually had to sell it. That's another story.
We are digressing Dave, but honestly, thought U were from the States, placard and all !!! Feels like home now.
