Guys information and help is appreciated I haven't long got lathe and it only came with one holder and cutter so can't really do much as never sharpened bits that's why the qctp I could buy carbide and then go for it rather than get angry because I could not sharpen hss so time in setting up is not important whare can I buy hss holders and which hss again thanks

Guys thanks for all reply think I will try get a cheapish qrtp so problem now is how to measure up for tool post if poss could a picture be put up as I am new to lathes you have gave me a lot to think about on subject as I can't sharpen hss if I get new tool post it might give me the chance to try other cutters again thanks
