World Golf Tour Game Credits Programs. G'Day Jim, 'are these as good as what they are talked up to be?' I have both the unit from eccentric engineering (diamond tool holder) as well as the Wemberly unit. The diamond seems to work better for me. It is usually the first tool that I use. I grind all of my own HSS bits but find that I can talke larger cuts with the diamond that the bits that I grind.

The video's are using 'free-machining' steel (probably something like 12L14) that would cut well using a hatchet. When using the diamond, I can get a better finish from my hand ground bits but can't take as deep a cut without getting BUE on my tools. With the diamond, You can just rotate your tool post and change from turning to facing without changing anything else. The Wemberly is supposed to be able to turn and face without moving anything. I will have to put that one back on the lathe and do some more testing.

This is the Diamond Tool Holder in use. What's New Any news or new. _____ I've now uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel showing a lot of the features of the Diamond Tool Holder, including some that.

They are both more expensive than they should be. The diamond is easier to re-sharpen (about 2 minutes) than the Wemberly (takes too long to set up). I have a new grinder with tilting tables so I may give the Wemberly another go. The diamond was recommended by a friend. The diamond is the only thing he uses. (with some extra grinding you can do threading too) My lathe is a SB Heavy 10.

BTW - diamond also makes a LH tool. I made two versions which worked very well, the second was more to my liking. Microsoft Italia Sede Contatti. Yesterday I just hit the sweet spot with speed and feed and took a cut the full width of the side of the tool in leaded steel on my Atlas with a super finish and 1' long curly chips.

I made them so I don't have to turn the tool post for turning or facing, they do both equally well. As others have said making your own rather than forking out cash is very egofeedo it was a big jump in my learning curve (sometimes I make up my own words as well) My first try all made on lathe, you can see I got the grinding angle wrong and it got a little hot, and the washer was a mistake, easily sorted and it worked well after that. Second try after I got a shaper However you get one you won't regret it they just save so much time! I made a holder about 4 years ago and I use it most of the time, my lathe is a small one 7'x12' so I need tooling on the light side. I grind other cutters from HSS, I use them mostly for interrupted cuts and for cutting where the Diamond tool will not work. The construction of the cutter is rather basic and most people can make there own, the key is the angles and even then being off somewhat really does not matter. In my mind use smaller versus larger HSS blanks.
