L/H internal 16mm indexable threading tool

I have managed to misplace the one I had. Anyone know where to get one without going bankrupt? I have tried all the usual suspects and no one seems to sell them. Before I start looking in the States I'd thought I would ask you.

I usually get my tooling and tips from this company. https://www.shop-apt.co.uk/snr-internal-threading-bars-apt.html

Well, my tool turned up today for all the good its going to do me because like a complete plank I ordered the wrong inserts The internal inserts point the wrong way with a L/H tool.

Oh no....

The internal inserts point the wrong way with a L/H tool.

Cue another order for the correct inserts and external bar?

After making this fudge I thought I would try to understand a bit more about these inserts and the different types/ metals etc. It's a bloody headache - Is there an guide anywhere? can anyone point me in the right direction so I can bridge another small gap in my education.

I believe @Richard. Started a post on the subject. Made for interesting reading and there's a lot of info in there.

I did start a thread on lathe tips. @Hood pointed me in the direction I needed to go in. Bought some lovely tips based on his info.

I found these whilst trawling for more info on inserts. I don't know if anyone else will find them useful but they filled a gap in my education.

My inserts turned up today, I had to get them from Cutwel as no one else sells them. After seeing the bill for 5 inserts I really hope they are the dogs danglies, there is something to be said for HSS !
