That's a totally incorrect statement.

Thanks for your input Ketan, much appreciated.

Worth a shot to buy and see, though I'm thinking that the Iscar would be a proprietary pattern.

After reading the problems that people have with parting off, I'm thinking of just staying with the Iscar holder and tips. Even though they are expensive, I've never had the slightest problem parting anything with the Sieg C6 lathe and the Iscar holder and tips, honestly its like using a hot knife through butter.

Thanks Ketan & Jason for your replies.

For the last 7 years I've been using Iscar GFN 3J IC354 inserts in an Iscar holder -

Iscar GFN 3J IC354

Everything is great about them, except for the price (even though they do last for a long time, to buy a whole pack of 10 is $$$). They are around $18+ an insert and I was wanting to move away to something cheaper like the NCIH Part Off Blade.

Many thanks again for the replies, I will do some searching for those MEM articles.

Kind regards,

Jim

Cheers Thor.

ARC NCIH Part Off Blade

Does anyone use one of these?

I've had a Sieg 9x20 and now a Sieg C6 10x22

This is just one factory and a couple of models, the factories producing all the makes and models in China can hardly keep up with production.

if it wasn't for these machines a lot of people wouldn't be enjoying using a lathe.

What about tattooed people? They must be feeling rightly discriminated against. I can't go anywhere and not see people proudly wearing ink. Sometimes if I have been a bit messy with the Dykem I feel a bit of the 'in' crowd.

Cheers all, broke the insert and the screw came out easily with pliers

And this one is financially discriminatory not all who need a wheelchair can afford an electrically operated one -

At least the blind will never have to see this emoji

And this one...you have to smile -

I was 6 as well and we watched it live at school.

Appreciate the advice so far all, I will be trying to get it out in the morning.

Will do Paul, I have it now. It dried really fast and doesn't feel at all greasy. I'll put it on tomorrow before working in my shed.

Looked up "Gloves in a Bottle" can't see a seller for them in Oz. It looks like great stuff from what I read.

Thanks Paul, I have just sent my wife a SMS to bring me home some 'Tough Hands' this afternoon.

Much appreciate mate

This was the first video of the Stuart S50 since I put it on the plinth and did the enhanced piping underneath and also for the exhaust. The Stuart gov is non working, but does add some eye candy,

Thanks for looking Ian, I will try and make one when I get some time.

Kind regards,

Jim

I have a rounded Torx Screw in a lathe bit. Any hints on an easy removal method?

Cheers

Jim
