Hello, I have a question: I've seen videos where people used larger than standard 1/4" tools on Taig lathe. Of course the tool posts were either modified or custom made for those larger tools. What are the benefits of using a larger tool on the Taig lathe?

[@jjjherzog]

Larger toobits are easier to come by, (for the most part) We make 1/4" High Speed steel tool bits but most folks prefer 1/4 or 3/8 with brazed on carbide tips or inserts, however high speed is sharper and gives a nice finish. But.........You can go faster with carbide. If your skilled the finish will be just as good.

Great video! Is it necessary to square up the tool post when using the Taig tool bits?

[@jjjherzog]

No, not necessary but a good habit to have.

The "Dirt" under my nails was because I was at work on my lunch brake doing this video. Your comment was unnecessary.
