I have a Colchester Bantam lathe and carry out fairly basic machining for which I grind my own tools in HSS. However as I am not particularly good at grinding tools I am contemplating moving over to indexable lathe tools. I have found a few sets ranging in price but do not really know what I should be looking for.
The materials I am working with are free cutting mild steel and ally.
Does anyone have any recommendations based on what they have used or know someone has used?
An option I was looking at is this 9 piece 15mm tool height set

Hope you can help,
