Carbide Inserts in the Home Workshop

[DaveH]

For lathe work I use carbide inserts 99% of the time, including boring.

The mill mostly HSS I have some carbide mills under 6mm dia I use on the Sherline mill.

I also use a carbide insert (home made) fly cutter on the mill.

Brazed carbide very rarely used now.

I would also like to point out I use the same carbide insert for, Aluminium, Brass, steel and stainless steel.
