I think the comparison above bill was to show inserts vs hss on light cuts for hobby machines. Simply to show an insert is worth the extra even on a lathe with limited cutting depth capacity. We all know a carbide insert is going to perform like a dream with a heavy cut. That’s what they do. . Optimas lathe however might not be too happy with a heavy cut. Depends on what you mean by heavy. I think it’s a great little fair comparison
