i am going to try that! any tipsmake your own out of an old tc saw blade
It was cutting lovely and then bang. I was approaching a bored section but hadn't got that far, possibly some flexing of the stock as I neared it though?Interested to know how it failed? Did it jam up or fail while cutting normally?
Both of mine have worn tip of the insert seat from stalling in cuts. Still works but chatters.
I've seen that insert/blade style, your holder looks particularly nice! What width is the cut? Mine was 3mm and fine.View attachment 261668
this type are excellent. About £40 inc the holder from Banggood. Doubleboost did a video review on them.
Ive never managed to find the holder tips and blade on there all at the same time!View attachment 261668

You'd want the 26mm blade version. Ive got 26 and 32 blades but no holder yet,was making one until I cocked it up.
The MGEHR are good when undamged, Im very tempted to get a PCD blade for aluminium.
The narrower the blade, the less power needed, but then you're more likely to suffer from chip clearance problems.I have been thinking for a while that something a bit wider may produce better results and less chance of issues but would like to heard others opinions.
All it takes is a bit swarf to jam, and things can escalate quickly.It was cutting lovely and then bang. I was approaching a bored section but hadn't got that far, possibly some flexing of the stock as I neared it though?
I part off using power feed on my harrison lathe, great when it works buy god you've to be quick when things take a turn for the worst, I use a simple hss parting tool , its only ok, perhaps that operator related too, works well with the flood coolantThe narrower the blade, the less power needed, but then you're more likely to suffer from chip clearance problems.
Personally, I prefer 2mm as long as the depth of cut isn't too much, but 3mm on deeper stuff. Always remember when parting, commitment is key, and the faster you can cut, the less problems you're likely to have, so narrower often works out better.

I've wiped out parting tools on the CNC lathe cutting aluminium for no apparent reason. It just takes either a stray chip to land somewhere you don't want it, or the insert to chip, and the cutting forces can increase very quickly.
Iscar tangential. £83 for a kit from MSC. The finish you get is mirror
