Default Size of a tool (lathe!)


If you were to machine steel at recommended speeds and feeds, using brazed
carbide, it's possible you could actually soften the silver solder to the
point of tip failure when running small shank tools. *


Been there done that. It can cause an interesting experience if the
carbide gets trapped between the stock and the remaining shank.
