My order from LMS, for the 2 lathe tools, that use the normally unused sides of a CCMT carbide insert arrived today. I got a #5617, a 1/2" shanked SCKCR tool and a #5620, a 1/2" shanked SCBCR tool, both marketed by Tormach. They look well made, I originally wanted them in 3/4" shank, but the largest LMS sold was 1/2", Tormach does sell the tools with the larger shank, but getting them is more of an ordeal. They use the CCMT 32.5x style insert
