Default Another newbie lathe question

I've been reading a few things (mainly catalogs) to select some cutting
tools. I'm particularly interested in sets of carbide insert tool
holders.

Does anyone have any links to resources for various standard tool
(insert) dimensions, including rake angles, front clearances, etc. (all
the good buzzwords I've been picking up in preparation for picking up a
lathe).

I've seen references to designators like "CCMT 06" inserts, but I don't
know what the specs on those are, or what particular metals/operations
they would be suited for.
