    FoR 16mm Parting Tool Combo
    
				
    
				
    
					FoR (Front or Rear) Inverted Parting Toolholder includes a fine, high-strength Crobalt parting tool. Operates with  blade held upside down. Use in front or rear tool post. Model specifically set for tool posts on 16mm Diamond Toolholder. 
    • Inverted blade design significantly reduces  chance of jam-up and blade breakage
    • Minimal side overhang and no front overhang help maximize rigidity
    • Cutting takes place on underside. Swarf tends to fall out of groove rather than pile up on top of cutting edge
    • Lack of swarf on top of blade means coolant is free to get right in to cutting edge
    • Horizontal mounting of blade further reduces chance of blade pulling itself into cut and is especially advantageous when turning brass and bronze.
    • Simple to resharpen--only front face has to be ground. 
    Features/Tips
    If backordered, shipping may take 2 to 3 weeks.

    A Machine Shop Companion for the Manual Vertical Milling Machine
    
				
    
				
    
					By Dale Grover
				
    
				
    
					Whether purchasing a milling machine or looking to get more comfortable with the one you have, this is the book for you. The intended goal of this book is to increase the odds that your next project on the vertical milling machine will be successful, safe, and efficient. 
    Machining is one of those tasks that requires a good deal of knowledge from multiple sources, though many instructional books fall short of getting you to the point of feeling confident enough to flip the switch and cut metal. This book will answer the many questions a home machinist needs to have answered prior to machining.
    Subjects include: workholding, tooling, toolholding, speeds and feeds, mill accessories, and more.
