Join me in this Really exciting Video where I team up with one of the UKs best suppliers for Machinist's tooling.
The Company I have teamed up with is Chronos Tools www.chronos.ltd.uk
So in this video I will test a variety of tools Sent to me from the owner Mark. From Large tools for my Harrison M300 lathe to small Lathe tools for the Warco Wm180 mini lathe, watch as I put these tools to the test and give you my honest opinion on them.

Hi Joe thank you for Subscribing and welcome to the channel hopefully you find the contents on the channel interesting and helpful. All the best.
Interesting video, the problem with most hobby lathes is that the first thing to max out is the lathe itself because if you run the inserts at the speeds and feeds they're designed to go most lathes won't go that far. Specially in roughing the biggest limit is rigidity.
Yeah I suppose you are correct Luca. However I have found some insert tooling on the mini lathe gives significantly better or worse performance. And I have to say the Turning tool performed quite well considering other tools I have used in the past.
@@MachiningwithJoe Of course there are better and worse inserts and with hobby machining finding one that performs better with the limited capabilities of the mini lathe is the key.
For Aluminium you need CCGT style inserts and WD40 to keep it from sticking to the tips. Maximum spindle speed and .35mm per rev for roughing, .1 to .15 per rev for finishing, adjust the depth of cut to keep it spinning without stalling the spindle. Minimum depth of cut should be tip rad.
I went to Thailand on my own a few years ago and met some Danish girls, they were fabulous.
A few years since I was in the industry now, we always used to use the Sandvik gold coloured inserts, they were long lasting and very hard, there was also an Israeli tip we used called Iscar, not quite as hard but very tough, good for intermittent cutting on heavy cuts.
When I started this machining hobby 3-years ago I searched the inter webs for suggestions for tooling for my mini lathe and mini mill, all I could find were folks who complained about this or they complained about that. You literally can’t make every single person happy. I bought a lot of tools that I may never use because I didn’t know what I needed to get a project finished. I will say this, I have a lot of $$$ invested. What I should have done was took a trip to Europe
Yes T A Ranson I was a bit like you also when I started. That’s why I thought it would be good to show this tool set for beginners that watch the channel. One of these sets would have done me great when starting off and having a set with the same insert makes life easier when one breaks.
Brazed carbide is not inferior to insert carbide. It just serves other purposes.
You can grind the required angles on the tool yourself.
And if you use the wrong lathe tool, it doesn't matter whether it's brazed carbide or insert carbide.
Ahh I understand almost like a HSS blank although it’s been shaped. I think for the convenience I have always used insert tooling but I suppose it never hurts to experiment.
On the CNC machine that I used to operate, it had loads of power being an industrial m/c AND loads of guards protecting you from swarf, and, on Aluminum I used to run 1000 M/Min (at 10" diameter I was on max speed of the machine of 1550rpm) 5mm depth of cut and 0.8mm feed. Of course there is no way you could safely do that on your m/c, but it's to illustrate what a tip designed for aluminum will do.
Brazed carbide not to be sniffed at, they still last quite a while and are sharper than inserts so less power required. 🙂
On Aluminium on a home lathe I think I would probably max out at 6mm depth of cut but bump the feed rate right up, your work will remain cooler (important on fine tolerance) as the heat will be in the chips and you will not have dangerous streamers that can take your arm off.
Hi Dr1verman thank you for all your comments as always your experience shows with what you say. I think your right I will never need to do 10mm doc and sticking to 6mm max and bumping feed rate might hopefully get those chips breaking. All the best and thanks for all the comments I nice again.
Hi Joe, great video. It would help if you told us the speeds you tested the new tools at.👍
Sorry Roy thought I sed in the video but seems I didn’t. So
20mm tool 530rpm in steel with 1.4mm/rev feed rate.
20mm tool 890rpm in 6061 with 1.6mm/rev feed rate.
10mm tools on mini lathe 900rpm for .25mm and .50mm doc with hand fed feed rate.
Bit of chatter on the Chf tool bcoz you were a long way out and running a bit fast, at the Railway we used to face the ends of the train axles in one go with a broad tool that had been machine lapped and we ran the machine at 5rpm. Ade has probably done that 🙂
Tool reviews would be worth far, far more if they were not made until you had several hours on each of steady use. The "I like these" is of no value and of course you would like them as they are free. A tool needs to do well for a good period of time and you won't know squat until you have put that time on them.
That’s a very valid point Douglas, when I announce the winner of the free giveaway I’ll give another summary of how the tools performed over the last few weeks.
Joe, be careful not to turn your channel into an "infomercial" to sell products! It's not the key to internet success and it's taking advantage of your subs! Sorry but I am un-subbing for that reason! Good luck!
Hey John sorry to hear that you’ve unsubbed. This isn’t a normal thing for the channel and wouldn’t normally do a video like this I just felt it may help the guys out who are new to machining and looking at what tools to get. Hopefully I can win you back as a sub with some future projects coming up.
No need to apologize to anyone Joe. This is your channel and you can do whatever u wish. You cannot please everyone...remember that!!
He’s got helluva good point. Many people put up with shill videos, but it’s a race to the bottom for your own content.
