Default confused by lathe behavior

Gunner Asch fired this volley in
:

Its probably because the tool nose radius is bigger on the insert tool




Gunner, a larger radius might give a better surface finish (with
everything else rigid and strong), but it will also increase the forces
causing a toolholder to spring relative to the work.

I don't know if I follow your contention...
