Well it is about time the Swiss people came around. I have been posting Greek about Swiss for months.
I use Cermet Inserts Uncoated for all O.D. cutting tools on a Swiss. It all depends on what your cutting and how long it is. I have cut Inconel X750 .125 Diameter down to .065 in one pass 3 inches long with .0001 taper.
What are you cutting?
BTW: I forgot to ask you what machine you were using???
DDM the STAR SV32J-II is a very nice machine. Do you have the automatic barfeeder that loads bars by itself and removes the bar ends?
