(I think that) I'd like to switch to PCD tooling for my 10x24 lathe work on aluminum. I'd prefer turning tools that are 10 mm (~3/8") high and boring bars that have 16 mm (~5/8") diameter bases. I've been hoping to find a complete set of tools that all take 1/4" PCD triangular (TPxx or similar) inserts.

Does anyone know of such a set?

Thanks.

Check out Komet of America (aka Komet Group) in Schaumburg, Illinois

Thanks. I had actually found a good variety of THINBIT PCD tools and inserts at kaisertool.com.
