Carbide cutter bits unusual problem

[whammo57]

Kim, thanks for the pictures. The system won't let me give you rep that soon after previous one. I reached the same task by grinding the cutter body down. Probably that is harder to do with strong steel rather than (Al) tool holder but that wasn't me getting the job done so I didn't care much.
And I still can use 1/4 cutters if needed.

Let me play Sherlock Holmes a little :smile:
CCGT 21.51LF
diamond shape, 80° nose angle, 7° clearance, 5/32 thick, .25" inscribed circle size, double countersink hole shape, single-sided chipbreaker, 1/64 radius, wiper lead angle 75°, clearance 25°

CCGT 21.52SA
same except for radius 1/32

Okay, here is how you can do it yourself

Thanks for the link to the chart.

I could cut the aluminum tool post but not the steel tool. I used a 3/8 hss straight router bit to mill the tool post and I was afraid it would be asking a little too much from the router bit to cut the steel tool.

I got my new inserts today. They are really sharp. What a difference. They cut much cleaner with out ripping the wood off.

Thank you Sir!!!

having measured the edge length of the inserts I have, I'm confused by that chart now. It measures a tad below 10 mm, like 9.7 (my caliper measurement is approximate since I tried to avoid touching those gentle carbide things with metal object). At the same time edge lengths present in the chart are in 1 mm increments, and go figure, there is no 10 at all!
What's the edge length of TCGT 32.52 pictured here?
