Arrived here yesterday .... but you can't get anything done these days ...
My direction with turning tools is definitely towards indexable inserts, but from the experienced turners here and elsewhere you also learn that you should always have some HSS material to hand, here for once in Myford-compatible sizes (and a bit of MT2 stuff):
Inscription on one chisel: "ZÄHHART GEGLÜHT" something like "toughhard annealed".
A box of miscellaneous items, left-hand extractors, drills, taps, reamers, .... :
Among them two specialities
- my first own inch taps (3/8"-18G and 3/8"-24G) - at least a start:
- and a die holder that should not really exist: During the first apprenticeship, in my case information electronics, next door the mechanics, if one of their supervisors caught one of the apprentices casually holding the die holder with only one hand, then that could force a set of hot ears on him ...
... nevertheless, this beautiful piece exists:
Does the signet on the holder mean anything to anyone???
Thank you!
Have a nice evening,
Carsten
