  I grew up (55 years in machining) with "Stelite" tools.  "Heat the part up till it's red and start cutting" the old timers taught me back in 60's.   Weld it hot and start cutting.  Finished with all types of tools after straighten of boat shafts etc.  Wish I had cameras back in the day before carbide you would see  lathes of the 1940s doing awesome work and even to this day.

  I'm not a machinest, but have used machine tools and been responsible for purchase of tooling for them as part of my job as the Chief Engineer for a number of maintenance depts, mainly in the food and drink industries. I did quite a bit of research about 30 years ago on what might be the best all round tools and decided on the button and triangle inserts as being the ones that would cover most uses and be cost effective in an envirionment were we could be cutting 304, 316L and hot rolled mild steel within the same day. I still use these same inserts in my home workshop today and have to say that Sandvik have never let me down. Its nice to watch a video with a couple of real machinests, confirm that the choices I made as a total non expert all those years ago, were pretty well the correct ones.

  I really like how the old boy response to the questions. He don't rush to answer a question. I hope he works the same way

  This maybe my favorite video you've ever done. Paul is such a nice guy for helping you share this with us. Would have been nice to get a better look at the inserts themselves like maybe some closeup shots so we could see what the chipbreakers looked like but great post John, really enjoyed it and can't wait for part 2.

  Just wanted to say thanks. I must have watched this video 20+ times for a reference.

  I hope to be a fraction as knowledgeable as this master machinist, one day.

  Thanks guys. I saved this video and refer back to it frequently at work. I shared this with my old machine school instructor and he now shares it with his classes.

  Thanks guys, I've learnt more about insert tooling in the first 14 minutes of this video than I learnt from 4 years of watching youtube machining videos.

  Good on everyone who had a hand in making this!  If you need SD cards I bought a heap for a vacation that didn't happen, you're welcome to a couple of them.

  There’s something so satisfying about watching a manual machine make chips compared to a CNC.
