Thanks, Dave.

I believe that when you go this route, you are committing to a particular
family of inserts.

Do you have any favorite recommendations for insert tooling for a small CNC
lathe like a Sherline that uses 1/4" square shank tools?

Thaks,

Eric

ps. Any company names or links welcome. I will try to find the two that
you listed below

Hi Glee;

You should be able to find most of the infromation you need in a catalog
from ISCAR or Stellram. If the vendor can't supply you with tool
radius info, at the very least I would avoid doing business with him in
the future for tools. These parameters are very important for CNC
usage and have to be controlled if you are to ever to expect your cnc
system to cut parts over the long term.

By the way I highly reccomend that you consider tooling that uses
inserts. On a lathe these can be very economical and the data you
need is easly obtained. Inserts are less that $4 a piece, on a
triangular insert that is three cutting surfaces for a buck and change
each.

Thanks
Dave
