Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Lathe Tooling? - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

(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.
