    Parting Tool Recommendations for 1045 and 4140HT

    I’m not aware of any integral shank tool that will part that diameter so it’ll be a block and blade system. I second the others on Iscar. Innovative tools that perform. They got their toe hold in the US market in the late eighties with parting and grooving. Really put the hurt on top notch

    Another coolant thread. Keep using MB50 or change.

    Respiratory problems usually come from the chlorine and/or sulfur. Dermatitis is from the oil rejecting nature of pure synthetic coolants which draw the natural oils from your skin and cause cracking and chapping. In the sump this causes the tramp oil to separate so you can skim it off.

    Is it OK to use a Through Coolant Face Mill with a Flood Coolant system?

    Perfectly fine to run it without coolant. Many manufacturers are consolidating to indexable coolant tools by default to keep from having to stock both.

    Face Mill Adapter for ER-40 Live Toolholder

    Although it’s not the most free cutting geometry it does have positive axial rake which is most important. The slight negative radial rake is to kick the chips away from the cutter.
