Ok.. ok... I get it. I'll start my own thread...
:rolleyes:


After reading a recent article on carbide cutters in the AAW Journal, I've been curious if any of you have used standard machine grade insert cutters and compared them to the nano-grain carbide insert cutters made specifically for woodturning?

I'd love to hear your comments on this subject. Are the nano-grain cutters as good as advertised? Are they that much better than the standard steel cutting inserts?

Hey.. found the article in question on Lyle Jamieson's website (https://www.lylejamieson.com/instruction-classes/documents/CarbideCutters_HR.pdf). Hope it's ok to post the link here (it's quite educational).
