my lathes have those style tool posts but the problem is they way they are designed the only cutters I can get to fit are carbide or indexable tool bits. And the only parting tool I can find to fit these lathes are for mini lathes and they break off with even 1/4 inch aluminum stock. And even if the parting tools didn't break off I cant afford the cutters, the cheapies I get at 5.50 a pop are too expensive. I need to be able to resharpen HSS bits to make ends meet. So the only thing that fits the bill for me at this point is the rocker style posts as I can get he holders, steel bits and a 1/8" thick x 1" or bigger parting blade for em. Unless somoene can direct me to somthing better.
