    Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Lathe Tooling?

    (I think that) I'd like to switch to PCD tooling for my 10x24 lathe work on aluminum. I'd prefer turning tools that are 10 mm (~3/8") high and boring bars that have 16 mm (~5/8") diameter bases. I've been hoping to find a complete set of tools that all take 1/4" PCD triangular (TPxx or similar) inserts.

    Does anyone know of such a set?

    Thanks.

    Thanks. I had actually found a good variety of THINBIT PCD tools and inserts at kaisertool.com.
