Parting tool mounted on rear tool post advice needed
Hi All
I recently purchased a siege C4 lathe, I am thinking of putting a second tool holder on the back of the cross feed table and putting a parting tool in it upside down as I understand things, that I have read on the net. Could I get some feedback on this method of parting.
It is my understanding that it’s a lot more user friendly way of parting and reduces jamming given that tool is sharpened right I tend to use HSS most of the time. Thanks in advance Colbra :)
Extended cross slide for 9"
Does any one know if Hercus still do an extended cross slide for a 9" Model A so as I can fit a rear parting off tool post and also a taper turning attachment.
Regards
