==Carbide Insert Turning Tools== | |||
The space owns and maintains a basic set of carbide insert turning tools. Spare inserts are kept in the toolroom and should be replaced by users when the originals (please remember the cost of inserts - only replace them when they are truly worn, and remember that most inserts have at least 2 usable edges). Please notify the mailing list if stocks get too low. A list of the hackspace tools and their corresponding inserts (for ordering purposes) are kept below. Note you are welcome to purchase and use your own inserts with these tools if you wish. This list is accurate as of 2022-02-23 | |||
