Thanks for the help guys, Chronos it is then. I have filled my online basket ready to buy. Just one final question, part of my order includes a set of Glanze indexable tools, 10mm. My lathe was supplied with 5 foc carbide cutters at 8mm.
I have measured my toolpost and it seems it is capable of accepting tools up to 16mm (the gap is 16.75mm) so, have I made an error selecting 10mm tools? or can I use anything from 6-16mm on the lathe?
My limited knowledge kicking in! but I would guess that the higher the shank size, the less prone the tool will be to chatter. Please advise before I order the wrong gear. And I do appreciate the help.

P.S. Last time I tried ordering something from U.S. it was siezed at UK customs and they banged me for a "handling fee" and import duty, pretty much put me off trying again |
