Just taken delivery of one of these little lathes. Been in engineering all my life but this will be my 1st exposure to a lathe. Great idea redusing the drill shanks to fit smaller chucks and impressive the Proxxon can handle it. Just a little observation. None of your pictures of the finished work was in shot. Try using a cheap laser pointer set up on the camera. Thanks for the video.
Hi, I use CCMT060204-HM YBC251, The type of material and speed will determine how long they will last. On HSS cutting dry I expect a couple of hours out of each edge.

HI! Sorry to bother you, can I ask you what type of insert you use and how long do they last?
