Thanks for sharing John. I use those 12mm tools and have never had any problems. Banggood gear is good stuff. Love it. Following from Sydney Australia.

[@grahammorgan9635]

Hi John, I use the same 12mm tooling on my 9 inch southbend lathe, very happy with them. Good video

[@Nobilangelo]

Ditto from New Zealand.

I find it very sad that since the rise almost 50 years ago, this country did not get into the pressed, sintered carbide market, we lost Wimet, Osbourne, Richard Lloyd aka Galtona and instead brought in in my case first, Iscar with their parting tool system in 1980, then the rise of Sandvik, Seco, Kennametal, Walther, Horn, Dijet, Tungalloy etc. Now we are flooded with some very good Chinese carbide which even the big players are losing out to, still as we are the UK, we binned our machine tool makers at the same time we decided we don't want to make things anymore! Good video John!

Thank you John for a wonderful video, cheers from Florida, Paul

Happy days John, I've an Atlas 10F lathe along with my Harrison of course, and them Bangood 12mm look perfect for it, thanks for sharing buddy

[@robertoswalt319]

Thanks for the video. While these tools don’t compare with those used in commercial shops, they are within the price range of hobby enthusiasts or folks on a limited budget.

[@Lewis-kf2pj]

Happy New Year John! Good you’ve had a belting celebration period and are feeling better. I bought some of the die grinding angry ends you suggested and looking forward to giving ‘em a kicking :)

[@dorval8792]

Uso esses insertos há mais de 8 anos e a qualidade vem melhorando muito desde então. Ótimo vídeo! Parabéns, John!

[@MegaLostOne]

Agreed. I have also seen a HUGE improvement when it comes to carbide end mills, the finish that they leave now are getting very close to what name brands are doing and the life of them is getting much better. I use to use this tooling for roughing then finish off with major brands but I haven't needed to switch out like that for awhile now, I still rough out and flip it or have a new one for finish if I am REALLY going for a fine finish but I would do that with any brands.

[@TedRoza]

G'day John as usual a good review. They did a good job on the stainless, Thanks Ted

[@thomaswilliams]

Thanks John.

[@howardosborne8647]

These are ideal for the small lathe users and very good value at that price

[@johnrudd9550]

Thanks for the review, at the price advertised by BG, they’re pretty useful to the likes of us that ‘piss about in the garage…🤣 ‘

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great review John, keep'um coming..

[@750triton]

I get the same gear from RDG. Works a treat. I have a Cromwell lathe, toolroom machine.

Right hand tool turns from right to left. Left hand tool turn from left to right. Cheers

Cheers John

[@paullangenkamp]

Thanks

[@raymondmurray3447]

Have you not got your right and left hand tools mixed up when unboxing?

[@BedsitBob]

Could you use that 30 degree chamfer tool for threading?

[@MegaLostOne]

For most practical threads the root of the thread would be to wide, even if using a XXXX02 tooling, The point on a threading tool will come to a much sharper tip.

[@howardosborne8647]

It isn't a 30 degree tool tip. DCMT tips are 55 degrees inclusive angle. If you want 60 degree inserts then look at TCMT triangular tips and shanks.

[@howardosborne8647]

@@MegaLostOne Yes,even with a 0.2mm nose radius they are too wide at the tip nose for most thread cutting.

[@BedsitBob]

@@howardosborne8647 So they're a match for Whitworth threads?

[@howardosborne8647]

@BedsitBob yes,they are 55 degrees but not an ideal tool for cutting threads.

[@andybleasdale7045]

Hi John What size tool would you recommend for a 140

[@howardosborne8647]

16mm shank is what John uses on his 140 and i also use a lot of 16mm shank tools on my Harrison L6. The standard 250-201 tool holders are designed for 16mm shanked tools.

[@MegaLostOne]

I have been using a lot of this type of tooling and for the most part it has been without issue, even with others posting vids saying don't use it. If someone is new to this and doesn't understand some of this here is a short break down of the holders: If it starts with an "S" tool holder is made of steel If it starts with an "H" tool holder is made of HSS If it starts with an "C or an E" tool holder is made of carbide the rest of the lettering will be the same, which gives you dimensions of shank, ie 1212 meaning 12mm x 12mm and the rest telling the direction of cutter and insert taken. When ordering inserts take DCMT for example if you order DCGT then it becomes a ground insert used for aluminum but there are plenty of sites where you can get a nomenclature breakdown of carbide inserts.
