G'day everyone,

I have been bit busy as of recent, so the next project may have to wait a week or so. For this weeks video I wanted to show you the progress that I have made in learning to use a new set of DCGT inserts that I bought a few months back. They are made for turning aluminum, but the sharp rake and cutting edge makes them perfect for cutting steel, if you are careful. In this video I will turn down some 1214 steel, and show you the incredible cuts that I can take with this mini lathe.
